Young people with SEND in colleges are also being poorly served by this broken system. While the govt’s SEND & AP Improvement Plan sets out reforms to tackle the situation in schools, it’s remarkably unambitious for 16-25 yr olds.

We’re so excited to be a part of this fight for change for young people with SEND

We'll shortly be speaking to MPs and stakeholders about our manifesto and how we achieve high quality further education for young people with SEND - fixing the problems that currently exist in the system. #NatspecManifesto2024

an inspiring message from @RMcElhenney - sharing this information will give hope and confidence to so many young people going through diagnosis
#SEND #Neurodiversity
I was recently diagnosed with a host of neurodevelopmental disorders and learning disabilities! At 46!
I go through the full diagnosis/prognosis on the @thesunnypodcast (which drops in 2 weeks)
It’s not something I would normally talk about publicly but I figured there are
others who struggle with similar things and I wanted to remind you that you’re not alone. You’re not stupid. You’re not “bad”. It might feel that way sometimes. But it’s not true :)
