We’re leaving X. As a UK not-for-profit supporting SEND young people into digital careers, we can’t support this platform. Its harmful rhetoric & lack of accountability go against our values of inclusion & ethics. Follow us on Instagram. Let’s build a better digital future.

At DISC today we explored ideas to help look after our #mentalheath.
We also have a daily check in so that interns can let us know how they are feeling and request a chat

Diane Ainsworth @pioneerhousesch head, Trustee of @digivantage and Chair of Governors at DISC Manchester great article for @SecEd_Education about the work we are doing supporting #SEN and #Neurodiverse students with #post16 transitions.
