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'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

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 :)
