Robinson claims his goons are trying to protect ‘women & girls’. Well, the vast majority of people at today’s anti-racism march were women. Mostly white women.This is who Tommy Robinson’s thugs were attempting to attack by circumventing cordons and assaulting police officers. ⁦

A devastating investigation from VCIJ and WHRO lays bare the dangers disabled children still face in Virginia classrooms. whro.org/virginia-cente… Josh Sikes, an 11-year-old autistic boy, died just days after being placed in a so-called “safe area” at school — a space blocked off…

Uttley told Schools Week: “A school could turn away children with new EHCPs…they could have lots of kids going into elective home education, lots of kids leaving on suspensions, exclusions, managed moves…and still score highly on inclusion."

The DWP lecturing about accessibility is the same DWP that published the welfare Green Paper with no braille, no audio and no accessible version for the first two weeks of the consultation. #CareNotCuts #TakingThePIP

🧵 What is going on in England, with schools locking toilets during lessons? 🚽 Children can only go at break times. Parents know the harm this causes. But here’s the thing: in the United States, this practice is unlawful in many states. Let’s break it down and give a few…

Guardian on #send reforms - highlighting that improvements in the support received needs to be the focus. The issue is highlighted by this quote. There is no improvement without investment. Lack of investment is why the system struggles theguardian.com/education/2025… #ehcp #sen

The only routes to getting support as a disabled person require you to endlessly talk about all the things you CAN'T do in excruciating detail, and I need people to people to understand how soul-destroying that can be.

❌ Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am, so neither should disabled bus passes. 🚍 Tomorrow Parliament will debate my amendment, backed by 50+ cross-party MPs, to scrap the 9:30am restriction on disabled bus passes. ✉️ Contact your MP and ask them to support NC2 to the Bus Bill.

Those in decision making positions across education in the UK should be taking close heed of this docuseries. Institutional abuse must be acknowledged and our children safeguarded from harm. It is not ok for our society to see abusive practices normalised. #AgainstRestraint

Reminds me of something when d at primary. We witnessed two parents carry/ wrestling an older tall primary boy into the school. Mum said, he’d been involved in car accident when 5 but I had my suspicions he was autistic #SEND

UNDERSTANDING behaviour is not EXCUSING behaviour. 👉 Going below surface-level behaviour is not dismissing behaviour 👉 Being radically curious about behaviour is not accepting behaviour 👉 Accepting what drives behaviour is not endorsing behaviour

Unsure of the current law we are fighting to protect, then here's some free training @ipsea Could this be offered to Phillipson (or next in post!), Bennett & De Souza? Might help them understand how LAs are breaking the law daily & that's what's causing the #SENDNationalScandal

“We can’t afford so many autistic and ADHD people on benefits.” Translation: we can afford MPs’ expenses, banker bonuses, corporate tax breaks, corporate tax evasion — but not disabled kids having support, dignity, possibility. #Disability isn’t the drain.
