Appalling to see so many deaf people having to explain that MAKATON IS NOT A SIGN LANGUAGE in #SignLanguageWeek Makaton are signs adapted from BSL (in a highly problematic way) used with spoken English. It's actually English with key word signing, not a real sign language.

Today is #InternationalDayOfOlderPersons! 🌍 The prevalence of dual sensory impairment (hearing & vision loss) increases substantially with age. More research and awareness raising is needed to ensure the inclusion and participation in society of older people with #deafblindness

Research out today from @ProBonoEcon commissioned by the DCP has found that Β£60mn of public money was wasted on lost SEND tribunals in 2021-22. 9,960 places in SEN units in mainstream schools could be funded each year with the money wasted. Our report: probonoeconomics.com/wasting…

🎁🎈Happy 5th Birthday to Curly's Farm 🎁🎈 'From small acorns mighty oaks do grow' 🌳 Curly's Farm is true of this too! From an idea to invite a small number of young people on to my smallholding in Brambledown back in 2018, quickly became a very popular and sought after resource to help supplement the learning of both mainstream young people and those with SEND. Fast forward 5 years...Curly's Farm is now a multi award winning farm recognised in counties across the UK. With Farmers, smallholders and zoo's travelling 100's of miles to purchase Curly's Farm rare breed livestock...only in August 2023 we had a small flock of Curly's Farm rare breed Dorset Horned sheep move to the Shetland Isles. Curly's Farm wouldn't be Curly's Farm without the amazing young people that call Curly's Farm THEIR farm. So, celebrate this day with us by posting and sharing your favourite pics and memories of you at Curly's FarmπŸ“ΈπŸ“ΈπŸ“Έ, we can't wait to see them.
