📢 Big news for EOTAS families!

The DfE has confirmed that a consultation on Education Other Than At School (EOTAS) will launch in the coming weeks.

Following feedback from parent carers during the SEND Reform consultation, the Government has recognised the importance of EOTAS for children and young people whose needs cannot be met in a school setting.

We’ll share details as soon as the consultation opens. Watch this space! 👀

📢 Help Shape Our Behaviour Support Session 📢

We are currently planning a session on Behaviour Support and would love to hear from parents, carers, and families about the topics that matter most to you.

To help ensure the session is as useful and relevant as possible, we have created a short questionnaire. Your responses will help us develop questions for Debbie Riall, who has many years of experience in the field of behaviour support.

The feedback you provide will not only help shape this event but will also guide the development of future resources and support for families.

👉 Please take a few minutes to complete our questionnaire using the link below:

Your voice matters, and by sharing your experiences and questions, you’ll help make this session as informative and practical as possible.

Please share this post with other parents and carers who may benefit.

Be heard, collaborate, and share ideas—make meetings and classes more engaging with real conversations.
