#Reuters 📆 May 31, 2023 #SETI : The #scientists in the various monitoring efforts passively #scan 📡 for signals of #alien 👽 beings and do not actively #send their own signals advertising our presence on #Earth.

"In my opinion, transmission of 'we are here' type beacons comes with the danger of potentially #inviting aliens with unknown #intentions to the Earth 🌏" https://www.reuters.com/science/scientists-expand-search-signs-intelligent-alien-life-2023-05-31

10,000 parents in a year - almost all of whom will win. An absurd legal process. #SEND And what about the parents who have less access for a range of reasons?

RT @SchoolsWeek@twitter.com

❕ The number of parents launching tribunal appeals over a council’s refusal to provide SEND support for their vulnerable child has passed 10,000 in a year for the first time

SENDIST tribunal numbers are a joke. LAs don't expect to win and it is incredibly stressful for parents of children with SEND to be forced into a legal process in which they are essentially "gaslit".

When will the government truly address the gaping chasms in #SEND funding?

A friend in Newport has a 3 yo with a genetic condition causing ALN. She is trying to sort funding to support her through nursery and for her school start next Sept but is meeting brick walls. Could anyone offer advice? Pls tag anyone who could help #SEND #primary @SENDConf@twitter.com

I have a petition running with over 7,100 signatures so far regarding requesting the government fund and build more special schools I hope your interested and will circulate thanks Graeme 😊

Another ‘unturned stone’ it seems @ClaireCNWL. Wonder if @Jeremy_Hunt will keep to his own recommendations so this can stop.
The ATU is the last stop on the #SEND line as a rule but this train seems to have arrived early.

Need a simple way to understand the SEND system? Our Special Needs Jungle #SEND Flow Charts explain it visually- including annual reviews. And they’re free to download, share & print https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/flow-chart/

Ok, here goes. An #introduction. Hi everyone! I’m Meg and I write silly things for the #dailystar , as well as designing ads and stuff. Yes, we were very excited about the lettuce. I’m also an #SEND mum of two, with powerful ADHD and almost no sense of object permanence. What else? I like #sewing, #drag and the occasional #beer. I’m here because Elon Musk isn’t.

Well let's give this ago.
Have no idea what is going on but let's roll with it.
Just putting some hashtags out there in areas that interest me

Let's see what happens.

#Introduction 👋

I work on #researchethics & #researchintegrity in a university & I’m a member of a research ethics committee.

I’ve nearly got my PhD on #olderadults, #interaction & #tech 🎓

I’m into #LocalHistory, #RadicalHistory, #London, #cycling, #botany, #wildflowers, #gardening….

I’m a #kinshipcarer (bringing up kids from my wider family) so may post on #SEN, #SEND, #homeschooling

#EduTooter Hello all, I am an #autism specialist teacher running a specialist resourced provision in a secondary school in #Kent. Hoping to link up with other #SENDCO #SEND professionals.

RT from Dee Field (@deestoes)

A quarter of parents of #autistic children say they had to wait over 3 years for support at school, according to @autism. This is #unacceptable. I'm calling on @Nadhimzahawi to use the #SEND review as the #opportunity to fix the system. Sign the petition: https://act.autism.org.uk/page/90803/petition/1?locale=en-GB&en_chan=tw&en_ref=229694702
