Today is PANS/PANDAS Awareness Day.
As Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on PANS/PANDAS I'm working hard with fellow MPs & peers to raise this in Parliament.
An important first step is to improve awareness 👇
Accidentally stumbled into this bit of theatrical genius this morning - 'Be Not Afeard' was totally captivating! Still smiling just thinking about it... 😊
Did you miss out on yesterday’s fantastic ‘Crabby’ performances by @CollarCuffsCo ? If so, don’t despair we'll be welcoming them back to in October.
If you are still looking for an exciting show then join us next weekend at the @LutonTheatre for The Scarecrows Wedding.
NEW POST The National Audit Office report on SEND is out. It has some harsh words for the DfE’s evidence and research and asks is the current SEND system affordable? But we ask, what's the alternative? https://t.co/KLnPJGdjUN
Super little review of Crabby last weekend at The Sidmouth Folk Festival:
"Absolutely brilliant production of Crabby the Crab! my daughter loved it, the message was spot on, it was engaging, fun and very well devised."
Looking forward to our visit to @TheCurveSlough #slough
Leeds LA left a 10-year-old girl without proper education for nine months after she became too anxious to go to school the @LGOmbudsman has found. The council offered so little help her mother had to fund an alternative education placement. https://t.co/PwOvzN5JTY
@CLGuild Thanks so much for having us! This week we're in Northampton, Worcester, Canterbury and Bristol offering inclusive sensory theatre about emotional development for people of every age and ability! The heat won't hold us back, we have cold water sprays ahoy!!!
Don't miss award-winning multi-sensory theatre company @CollarCuffsCo's version of Shakespeare’s The Tempest this Saturday and Sunday at 11:30am and 2pm. It's suitable for 0-7 year olds and fully inclusive for those with complex needs.

#FridayMotivation with this quote from 'Be Not Afeard', combining the words of #Shakespeare with those of Julian of Norwich - attachment with your child supports their confidence when encountering the unexpected, an invisible umbilical cord between you that means all is possible.
