It can be so hard not to compare with other families, and to feel the need to pack half term with exciting day trips and excursions. But this is your reminder to do what’s right for you and your family.

You don’t have to be outside every second of the day, in fact in this sort of heat it’s probably good not to be! So this is your official permission to find cool spots to relax and take the pressure off.

Here’s a few ideas we’ve thought of to help beat the heat - what are yours!? 🌞

💡 Employee Spotlight 💡

We recently changed Sammy’s title here at SWS, and why? Because she really is the glue that keeps us all together!

Sammy is now our ⭐ Business Operations Manager ⭐ and plays a central role in supporting your journey with Succeeding with SEN from start to finish. She is your first point of contact, managing initial enquiries, arranging introductory calls, and matching you with the most appropriate consultant for your needs.

Alongside this, Sammy oversees invoicing and helps ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the business. She also supports our continued growth by building and maintaining connections with other professionals and organisations.

We’re so grateful for everything she does and couldn’t do this without her! Thank you Sammy 🤩

For the first time today, a certain political party came up in conversation in terms of how them taking over the council might affect the child’s right to an EHCP and a suitable education. (You can probably guess which political party we’re talking about, it starts with an R…)

So this is a reminder that no matter what political party runs your local council, SEND laws still stand and must be adhered to and enforced at all times. If that isn’t happening, get in touch and we will be more than happy to help. No political party should influence a child’s ability to access their education - full stop.

Reminder: Your child is entitled to a full-time, suitable education.

This means that if a mainstream, state school is not suitable for your child, then they are entitled to an alternative that is suitable.

Example: if you have moved your child from a mainstream, state school to a mainstream, independent school, because of their needs, because they cannot manage the large class sizes, or need a higher adult to child ratio, they are entitled to funding for that education.
