        Hi, I'm Liz Murray. 
I'm the SEND Lead for Star Academies which is a multi-academy trust with primary and secondary schools across the UK.  I have been a speaker at the TES SEND Show a couple of times.   It's great to have a space to connect with likeminded professionals!
I'm particularly interested in connecting with professionals who specialise in high quality provision for pupils with SEMH in mainstream settings.  
      
      
     
   
  
    
      
      
      
      
        What has had the most positive impact on improving QFT for pupils who are on the SEND support stage, in your setting?
