    Clear update with useful chat after 🙂

  2. Amy Rhodes (verified owner) –

    Great session that was refreshingly open and honest about the current concerns in SEND.

  3. Claire Chambers (verified owner) –

    Really interesting session and good to find out more detail about the curriculum review. Thank you

  4. Nadine Weedall (verified owner) –

    So much content shared in an accessible way. Only criticism is I sometimes can’t stay till the end as they are quite long, but I don’t want to miss out- however, am grateful for the recordings to catch up on at my own pace.

  5. Bill Melis (verified owner) –

    Very clear and informative.

  6. Helen Guy (verified owner) –

    clear information and a useful summary

  7. Victoria Heslop (verified owner) –

    Really useful. Easy to follow, honest and thorough. Thank you.

  8. Joanne Southgate (verified owner) –

    Lots of really useful information with clear summaries too. Thank you

  9. Carole Long (verified owner) –

    Much useful information and help about what might be coming up in the changes.
    Unfortunately, the sound was rather low so it was hard listening. Dale was much easier to hear.

  10. Kelly Rich (verified owner) –

    Useful info – good to know we are all facing the same situations. I had to download the PowerPoint for the last part as I couldn’t stay for the whole time. Thanks

  11. Naomi Parkinson (verified owner) –

    Informative and relayed information that is needed. It’s a sad state that we are dealing with and can’t see things changing as soon as it needs to.

  12. Michael O’Dwyer (verified owner) –

    Very informative.

  13. Annabel Tuckey (verified owner) –

    Excellent. Lots to consider. Thank you.

  14. Gail Carter (verified owner) –

    Great session, clearly defining the current landscape

  15. Rebecca Bye (verified owner) –

    Great to get the key updates, lots of information but all useful.

  16. Julia Chapman (verified owner) –

    A comprehensive and insightful analysis of the current SEND landscape including the challenges, developments, support and next steps. Thank you!

  17. Steph O’Neill (verified owner) –

    I would find it more helpful to spend time hearing about changes which have been decided. For me, today’s session involved a lot of speculation about what might happen and lots of opinions from the presenter rather than delivery of actual facts.

  18. Hannah Fitch (verified owner) –

    Informative and well presented. Thank you.

  19. Louise Selby (verified owner) –

    Abigail Hawkins has a way of knowing absolutely everything while sharing this knowledge in a way that helps you prioritise, understand and interpret. What a packed, informative session. I could have listened all day! Thank you as always, SENDCast and Abigail.

    Great session with a very honest outlook on SEND provision

    This is my first experience of SENDcast & I will definitely be returning. Despite working in an independent British school in Spain, there was much relevant information and food for thought.

  24. harrop.education (verified owner) –

    Very informative and helpful to know what is happening.

  25. Liz Lee (verified owner) –

    Informative session – I have already discussed several of the updates included with colleagues.
