- Reposted by did:plc:6wwmta7hb2hpxotels4k6qln"Parents will be worried about plans until they can see, in black and white, that legally guaranteed support will be there for every child who needs it." Read what our CEO, @katieghose.bsky.social, shared in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/education/20...
- Fantastic to have MPs like @lukemurphy.bsky.social pour their passion and ideas into Send reform 👏🏽
- We were delighted to welcome @lukemurphy.bsky.social to our Basingstoke nursery today to launch his report about fixing the SEND crisis. The report features our nursery as a case study of best practice, recognising the inclusive environment we provide for children with SEND.
- Really pleased to see the Government recognise the need for a big Send training drive for schools.
- We welcome the Government's announcement to invest £200 million in SEND training. This is a positive step towards a truly inclusive education system - giving every child the opportunity to play, learn, grow, and thrive. (1/5) www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
- Inclusion and high standards go hand in hand, brilliant to collaborate @dcpcampaign.bsky.social and @thefea.bsky.social on a shared and practical vision for the changes we need for every child to feel they belong in their school disabledchildrenspartnership.org.uk/FEAVisionSta...
- Women leaders come join us on Thursday to focus on what really drives us - a good way to banish the January blues! @kidscharity.bsky.social
- Loved sharing tips from families with disabled children about how they make their own magic at Christmas 👇 👇👇
- Really welcome govt investment in more school places so that disabled kids can go to their local school. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

- Better support in local 'one stop shop' hubs for babies and toddlers with disabilities could be a game-changer for families. Good talking to Vanessa @lbc.co.uk about the govt's plans. If the new roles offer non-judgmental and practical help they will be welcome @kidscharity.bsky.social
- Our budget response … more tomorrow!

- Huge thanks @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social for truly listening to parents of children with Send today. The Government has a big opportunity to make Send support better and you have shown that families' experiences are the launch pad for those solutions.

- Brilliant evening hearing our former @kidscharity.bsky.social Chair @stephenunwin.bsky.social talk to Patron @cathynewman.bsky.social about his book ‘Beautiful Lives’. A compelling challenge to stop valuing only money and cleverness and to adopt a richer notion of being human.
- Please spread the word about this fab opportunity to help our work on digital inclusion! 👇
- Beautifully told stories about the harsh reality of 'the fight' by families and a lovely example from a head of a school where teachers step up as Send champions to help children 'flourish' - 'it's about setting them up for life after school'
- Training for the ‘whole school’, accountability, early support, parents as partners - so much common sense from @helenhayes.bsky.social and the education select committee’s report on ‘moving forward’ with a transformed approach to Send @kidscharity.bsky.social @dcpcampaign.bsky.social

- MPs drop in today was packed with young people, parents and politicians keen to share stories and solutions. Great to see new minister @georgiagould.bsky.social eager to listen to families’ experiences. These must be front and centre of the reforms. @dcpcampaign.bsky.social @kidscharity.bsky.social

- Reposted by did:plc:6wwmta7hb2hpxotels4k6qlnIt’s time to fix the SEND system. Because there’s nothing ‘special’ about an education that works for all of us. Today parents are taking the #FightForOrdinary to Parliament.
- 'When you know better, do better. Now do better for Send children'. A brilliant banner at today's parents' rally in Parliament in support of every child with Send. Hotfooting it now to the MPs' drop in to support the 'fight for ordinary'! @kidscharity.bsky.social @dcpcampaign.bsky.social
- ‘If only we’d found Kids sooner our daughter is flourishing with you’, fabulous day at our holiday programme in Hull. Lego, craft and all kinds of fun with the children and our amazing @kidscharity.bsky.social team. Rules created by the kids (‘be kind’ and ‘don’t snatch’) a manifesto for life!
- It's five years since we lost my wonderful and witty sister, Nanda, on her birthday, and I'd like to shout out to @samaritans.bsky.social for the vital services they provide. If you're worried about someone they provide excellent information and guidance on what to do - samaritans.org
- Delighted to be part of our Fight for Ordinary, launched today!
- It’s time to fix the SEND system. A whole generation of disabled children and those with additional needs are being let down by a broken education system. bit.ly/FightforOrdi... #FightForOrdinary
- In awe of the incredible team @womankindworldwide.bsky.social - and thrilled to be on board!
- ‘Agents of change’, equal partners’ and call for transformational ideas from every corner of civil society, What a stimulating day at yesterday’s civil society covenant launch thanks @pbe.co.uk @lbfew.bsky.social @ncvoyr.bsky.social @acevo.bsky.social and all involved @kidscharity.bsky.social

- Legal guarantees to support AND help at the earliest opportunity are both essential if the Government’s Send reforms are to improve disabled children’s lives 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
- Thrilled to co-chair the Digital Services Consortium and to be launching an ambitious digital inclusion programme for disabled children today!
- Fabulous pasta party with our awesome @kidscharity.bsky.social marathon runners and young supporters! In awe of their commitment to help us support more kids with disabilities to play, learn, have fun and make friends. Huge thanks Greystar for hosting us on the 32nd floor!
- Wonderful afternoon at our peaceful @kidscharity.bsky.social playground in Chelsea where kids who need 1-1 adult support can mess about, have fun and make friends. Swings, trampolines, water play and more! Lovely spending time with our manager Sarah and former trustee and long time supporter Austin.
- Silent disco, air guitars and bubbles were on the Easter menu at our amazing @kidscharity.bsky.social Orchard Centre in the Midlands this morning! Good chats with parents too, who never stop fighting for their children to be able to play, learn, grow and thrive alongside their peers.
- Loved my visit to one of our @kidscharity.bsky.social adventure playgrounds. All kinds of kids with all kinds of disabilities (and siblings) roam around and enjoy den-building, fire making and messing about on bikes. Enjoyed showing our chair Diana around a fab service. How childhood should be! ❤️

- 'Kind angels' who understand and want to support our children in a world where kindness is not always their experience. I've been showing a local MP a @kidscharity.bsky.social service and this was lovely feedback about my colleagues from one parent.
