It is essential in its vision for a reformed SEND system that the government recognises the vital role of specialist colleges as part of a healthy FE ecosystem where mainstream and specialist providers each have a role to play, including in partnership.

โ€˜Specialist colleges.. make an enormous contribution to the education & care of thousands of.. young peopleโ€ Skills Minister, Jacqui Smith Fantastic recognition for specialist colleges in yesterdayโ€™s debate in the House of Lords, led by Baroness Monckton of @TeamDomenica ๐Ÿงต

One example was an LA refusing transport for a blind, hemiplegic student and telling them to do 3 train changes on their own just to get to college. All our VI students have HUGE barriers to even get funding. I have loads of examples unfortunately! DM me if you need more.

I was charmed & moved to tears by this weekโ€™s โฆ@therosebudpodโฉ guest. Heโ€™s โฆ@chrismccauslandโฉ - heโ€™s a comedian with an extraordinary story to tell. He began to go blind at 5. His resilience & sense of humour will bowl you over. I think this is a must-listen episode.
