However, that could simply be because they want to see what the public consultation says.
The consultation runs until late May.

Last night, MPs voted against a proposal for a ban.
Teaching unions have campaigned on safeguarding issues before.
It's the effort that NEU are giving this that caught my eye.
The NEU are consistently highlighting reasons to ban social media for under 16s.
Fascinating.

Graphic shows final paragraph of the school attendance guide for parents of a Sheffield Primary School. It reads: "Do you remember that, at the start of this guide, we said school days are: 1. A time for eyes to light up. 2. A time for wonder and discovery. 3. A time for dreams to run wild. 4. A time for friends who feel like family. Well… Who knows where great attendance will lead? Here’s one former pupil, Robin, collecting his first class master’s degree. That opened the door to one of Europe’s best universities where he conducts research that will underpin the medical imaging equipment of the future. If he and the team he works with can find the breakthroughs, it could lead to better radiation therapy in hospitals and so save millions of lives across the world. And it all starts with good attendance… See you at school tomorrow!" First image within the text show a foundation stage child with eyes lit up. Second image shows Robin collecting his Masters Degree.
When writing for parents, let's speak to the soul.

Junko Tabei is remains a role model.
She's a reminder that glass ceilings are there to be broken.
But Junko followed her dreams and did reach the top.
Some men wouldn't climb with her.
'Everest is no place for a woman.'
Women’s clothing for the planet's highest peak simply did not exist. Junko fashioned hers from men’s gear, car seats and old curtains.

🚨 International Women's Day
Junko Tabei, a Japanese climber, was told to stay home and raise a family.
She ignored that and, in 1975, was the first woman to summit Everest.

Sorry I missed this.
I agree. My advice to families: Go see it.
I also think the SEN Info report is part of transparency + accountability.
Whilst this sampling was 2023, I couldn't yet say that every school acts fairly schoolsweek.co.uk/send-special-needs-how-inclusive-are-mainstream-schools/
💯% agree
Thanks for your efforts to explain.
💫 Welcome to the club Richard - you're very welcome.
I hope for momentum too and feels like it's already started to make a difference to the posts I see.
I'll run it weekly in March to see how it goes. 👍
💫 Welcome to the club Michelle! 🤩
Thank you.
Advice from my grandma who lived through the Blitz in SE London with 2 under 5s:
The world can be scary sometimes & most of the time you can do nothing to change that. So focus on what you can do. Make things better for those around you & be kind to everyone as you never know what’s up with them.

Lovely to hear that the teamwork paid off. 💫🤩💫
Genuine question: What would you call such an assessment?
The old job had me riding imaginary Albino camels whilst 1:1 at lunch breaks with a pupil with SEND.
There's no finer feeling than the wind in your hair as you gallop the playgrounds of Pontefract upon your invisible white stead. 👊🏽💫
Some Yorkshire schools lead the way on writing SEN information to engage everyone.
Who's parents couldn't, or didn't want to, stay and help.
The unit also provided extra young leaders
I moved with him up to cubs.
I now only stay and help for certain sessions when we think my son and the other ND children might need extra support.
Scouts were the only EC that were inclusive.
A smiling Beaver Leader stands at the door. On the wall next to her are the words 'You belong here.'
When we make this effort, however small, we send a powerful message:
You belong here.
The text explains some of the nuances of Beavers - wearing a uniform and making a promise. The text is supported with Widgit symbols which are simple pictures to help children with communication difficulties to better understand the words.
We rightly push for every school to be excellent at inclusion.
But children deserve an inclusive world beyond our school gates.
The text explains joining Beavers - what it is and what to expect. The text is supported with Widgit symbols which are simple pictures to help children with communication difficulties to better understand the words.
So, it's heartwarming to see the Scouts now producing more inclusive information for children.

It's called Beavers.
She talks about it on the way home from school but, to be honest, you're a bit anxious to take it in.
"Jibber-jabber, jibber-jabber."
It's all a bit confusing.

Imagine you're autistic and six.
Mum says you're going to a new club.

Looks fabulous and a great link to make.
Would be incredible if you are able to give a shout out for Become's Guide to Children in Care?
Virtual Schools are a vital conduit to Designated Teachers to be able to read it and share with their governors.

Delighted you joined the ride Rachel.
Congrats on the music efforts - it offers people a breath of fresh air. 💫🎶💫
