Free webinar - The Key Clinic - 'The underlying causes of mood swings and meltdowns in the classroom'
Join Sarah Warley, Founder of The Key Clinic and Olga Preston, Biomedical Lead, this Thursday 16th January to discuss:
'The underlying causes of mood swings and meltdowns in the classroom'
They will be investigating the root causes and what teachers and parents can do to mitigate them.
Based on over 35 years of combined Clinical experience in working with children with a range of learning and behavioural difficulties, this should be an exciting and informative session.

What wins have you had this term?
As we near the end of the winter term, we want to know what wins you've had since September?
Whether it is progression in your career, finding a new way to support a student or learning something new.
No matter how big or small, we want to hear from you!
What do you think about the Keir Starmer government's approach to SEND so far?
With the news this week that schools will be given £740m to adapt buildings for pupils with SEND, what do you think about the UK government's approach to SEND so far?
How has it impacted children with SEND and their families in your setting? Does the Government's increased SEND funding in state schools go far enough? Will it be sufficient to cater for a potential influx of children with SEND from private to state schools?
Share your thoughts and experiences in this thread.
Want to join our SENCO-focused SEND Social next week?
On 3 December we're hosting our third SEND Social, which this month has a SENCO focus.
What can you expect?
The aim of these socials is to bring together SEND Network members in a casual format so you can get to know more people and share common experiences. We will start with general introductions and then move onto topics which you'd like to talk about - we'll ask you to share your ideas ahead of time.
If you are a SENCO and interested in joining, RSVP to the event or reply in the comments!
Experience of autistic children and young people in mainstream education
The charity Ambitious about Autism wants to learn more about the experiences of autistic children and young people in mainstream education.
They want to hear directly from autistic young people and parents, carers or relatives of autistic children and young people about how the system is currently working and your views on how it could be improved. Please complete this short survey to share your views or share with young people and families you work with. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. The results of the survey will be used as evidence to share with politicians and decision-makers. They might also share the results with journalists. By completing the survey, you could also be in with a chance to win a £50 shopping voucher.
