This week is National Learning Disability week with the message “Do you see me?” We are working hard @NDTicentral to increase employment opportunities for young people with a learning disability through @Internship_Work 👀 to see what else we do https://t.co/0rO5AXDcJR

@SueGaudion @AgibbGibb I thought you commentated with your usual insight and passion. Swifts game was always going to be a tough one this week after what they have been through. No winners there sadly

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]

@fergusonkf @tes The fact that it’s a segregated school with horrific behaviour suggests nothing about it is inclusive Kate. Hope all is well your end

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]

And yet another scandal at a school that should be supporting and promoting positivity for young people with additional needs. Makes me sick to the stomach that people feel it’s ok to behave in such a vile way. @BBCPanorama courage from the reporter who called it out. STOP ABUSE!

Learning Disability Week shines a light on the voices often unheard. This year's theme, 'Do You See Me?', urges us to recognize and value the contributions of individuals with learning disabilities. Let's commit to seeing, hearing, and supporting everyone. #LearningDisabilityWeek

So great to be at the #timetotalk celebrations this week. Young people sharing what makes a difference to them @NDTicentral @NdtiResearch ❤️

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]

Great to hear young people from Lincolnshire Young Voices talk about what matters to them as young people with additional needs #sendleadership @NDTicentral @Lincs_YV

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]

Linda Jordan, amazing as always talking about the history of SEND and the role it plays in our society today ⁦@NDTicentral⁩ #sendleaders

Preparing for Adulthood event, with the partnership in Wigan, aptly falling on supported internship day. Great range of practitioners and commitment for our children and young people @HelenMHayes1 @KathrynAnthon

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]

@Internship_Work Delighted to be part of the national day and our work @NDTicentral that supports young people to get into work

[Children's Commissioner for England @ChildrensComm]

These issues mean that children are being put at risk, enduring neglect, losing touch with loved ones and are far less happy than they deserve to be.

I want to see government prioritising children’s social care with the commitment, funding and attention it deserves. 3/3

[Hillingdon Council @Hillingdon]

Make Your Mark is the biggest consultation, led by @UKYP, for young people to have their voice heard.

11 to 18 year olds have until 8 March to shortlist the most important topics for the country, including crime and safety🗳️ ✏️

Can someone from ⁦@EnglandNetball⁩ explain why we only have 8 games (apart from the opening round and finals) live streamed this season? I’m sure there were so many more last year 😢

[Sanchita Hosali @sfhosali]

Please check out @BIHRhumanrights this week and see the, frankly, bloody brilliant, work my colleagues have been doing with community groups to co-produce the resources they need to harness the power of our Human Rights Act in their lives.

Today that fab @mylifemychoice1 👇

[Disabled Children's Partnership @DCPcampaign]

A brilliant session for young people taking place next week! 👇

[Sanchita Hosali @sfhosali]

It's been a lot to get funding to offer free Human Rights Act support to community and voluntary sector groups, but we have 2 programmes running now: 1) London gps; 2) UK-wide

Please do share!

[Julie Pointer @julie_pointer]
