Lorraine has a wealth of knowledge around the current issues in the world of SEND. She clearly explains the upcoming changes and gives helpful pointers to what is likely to happen in the next 12 months. Would recommend watching the briefing as a lot is packed into the time.

Sadly, the session confirmed what we all are feeling, things aren’t getting better, not much changed if anything, what is being tried and looked at is slow … and time is not on the children’s / young people’s side. But, the session itself was helpful and informative. Thank you.

The session was extremely informative. It was a succinct insight into current government progress in key SEND development areas. We found it to be honest and well informed. It was also really positive to hear a speaker who has the understanding of small schools and the differing impact that government changes have on us. Also with the understanding of the wider health and social care impacts. We have tuned in to listen to Lorraine before and definitely will again.

As always with Lorraine, a very informative session although the outlook is bleak. We carry on in difficult circumstances. SEND students are very much on the receiving end of terrible strategic decisions made years ago. You reap what you sow and whatever shade the next Government is, the piggy bank is definitely empty. Thank you Lorraine for injecting some realism into what is an extremely serious situation.
