As a collection of SEND specialist teachers and school leaders, we’re interested in a genuinely inclusive education system, what this looks like ‘on the ground’ and how we make steps to get there.
We’re aware of the daily pressures felt by teachers within the system and look to crack open the difficult conversations around SEND and Inclusion.
There are ‘elephants in the room’ we need to talk about if we’re serious about changing the narrative around SEND – Phil Leaney
