Good to catch up with @DesignsInMind, an amazing local enterprise in #Oswestry which is bringing people with #mentalhealth challenges into purposeful, creative work.
Really exciting projects in collaboration with major national design companies.

This week we're shining a light on our funders- The Henry Smith Charity are core funders of our work. They have taken the time to really get to know our company and always make conversation a key part of our funding relationship. #MentalHealth #Shropshire #SocEnt

During the #COVID19 pandemic technology will obviously play a key role in facilitating remote working and business continuity. Thinking of having virtual #KartenCoffeeBreaks to support each other's health and wellbeing. Let @DawnyEGreen know if you are interested 😊

Emotion matters in politics. Storytelling is incredibly important. Brilliant, insightful and funny speech from @ayeshahazarika #AoCConf

Natspec's chief executive, @ClareH_Natspec as well as our Chair, @BernieW01 have responded to today's publication of the @CommonsEd report into special educational needs and disabilities. https://t.co/HF5BGK4dnS

[Clare Howard @ClareH_Natspec]

The long awaited report. After 18 months and hundreds of pieces of evidence, this is a damning and comprehensive picture of how ambitious intentions failed to be realised.. for post-16, the headlines are....1/12

Independent specialist colleges are an important part of ensuring that young people can access education and training that works for them. #LoveOurColleges

[Natspec @Natspec]

For young people with SEND, specialist and general FE colleges provide opportunities for education and training. Over 30,000 high needs funded students study in colleges! #LoveOurColleges

Congratulations to all on the opening of the Bradbury Hydrotherapy Pool at @DerwenCollege. The £750k facility will provide great opportunities for therapeutic exercise and relaxation for both students and the local community.

Good to welcome @DerwenCollege @DerwenWalford to Westminster. Great to hear about the launch of new day provision from September for Supported Internships across a range of practical and administrative skills.
