Been doing lots of schools events recently with headteachers. A big theme from conversations is the special needs system has gone from crisis to essentially not functioning. Horror story after horror story.

🚨 NEW: At London's @RoyalFreeNHS yday there were 10 people waiting 35 hrs in A&E and more than 40 patients waiting for a bed on a ward...
Another day and other critical incident in the NHS. This time it’s unfortunately Cambridge. Sadly 60 patients are waiting in A&E for beds on wards 🤯 No doctor strikes remember. A reminder also that this government has cut ~25% bed capacity in the NHS in last 14 years

🚨 NEW: Critical incident declared today at @CUH_NHS with 60 patients waiting for a bed in A&E. Msg below also warns of long ambulance delays and crowding within A&E:
@ShaunLintern @LG_NHS Having done A&E in 2010, I find it horrendous what a decade of poor policy making &planning has done. This is everywhere in country. Whilst we are managing more complexity in PC. Blame is squarely on @DHSCgovuk @NHS & their political masters. Call them out Shaun-that’s ur story
Yikes 👀 21hrs wait at @LG_NHS
‘Write less; Read More’ “What if pupils had more time reading, and talking about what they read, then write brilliant, polished diamonds of sentences. Not paragraphs, or pages filled with aimless efforts.” theconfidentteacher.com/2023/05/write-…
Ofsted training taking place this week. Sad to say, there is still a lingering whiff of “not our fault”. Training focus is all about “covering your back” eg. informing lead inspector/making notes/pausing but insisting on evidence. Nothing about changing inspection behaviours!
I’ve found it hard to find words to express how I’ve felt about this over the past months and days. Utterly tragic and heartbreaking. It has long been clear that our accountability system needs to change. Shocked at the lack of action and responsibility from Ofsted in response.

Should our unions be calling for a pause in Ofsted inspections, pending reform? Please RT.
@LordJimKnight on Sky news: I agree with Julia Waters and the coroner, that we have a system that is built on fear. We need a human system that has a duty of care towards everyone involved.

Read this to fully understand- in her owns words what #ruthperry went through. These notes were found by her sister Julia Waters after her sister’s death. Warning this is powerful & distressing because it is so directly from Ruth Perry’s own thoughts bbc.co.uk/news/education…
I’m thinking - beef up that first paragraph with some deeper acknowledgment of responsibility. ‘Sorry for distress experienced as a result…’.has ‘technical apology’ vibes.. . And the juggernaut rolls on with some sensitivity training for the drivers.

Ruth Perry Inquest Day 2 I am not going to summarise today’s events in quite the same way as yesterday. Partly because today covered a lot of the same ground but also because we are now entering a phase of the inquest where people I have a strong regard for are giving evidence...
Ruth Perry Inquest Day 2 Today has already been so much harder. Quote of the day from OI Gareth Evans; during inspections "we more often see people crying than not", so somebody upset is just par for the course, in an OFSTED inspection, apparently. More later...
Ruth Perry Inquest Day One The first day of witness evidence has produced some devastating testimony. I will do my best to give you a sense of the day. Apologies for the length of this thread. There is a lot to get through and honestly, too much for this platform…
Ofsted will have five lawyers paid for by the taxpayer at Ruth Perry’s inquest. Her family have had legal aid declined- crowdfunding to make it fairer. Coroners have cited Ofsted as factor in deaths of 10 teachers already - surely this is a turning point. gofund.me/5a059fa7
