As SEND champion, my long-term aim is to help create a system that works for all. Being a mum to children with additional needs, I understand the difficulties that arise from the status quo – but my first year is being spent fact-finding, as I know that I don’t know everything. If you are involved in any support networks or groups, do get in touch. I want to speak to as many people as possible, as learning from your personal experience is the most important way to ensure that I am tackling the most important issues to you.
