child? Screening tools can provide an indication of strengths and
challenges, and may help you decide whether further support or a
full diagnostic assessment could be helpful.

The BDA is offering access to discount codes for suitable screening
tools for children and young people aged 5 to 16.

Very welcome news 🎉

UK to introduce a full social media ban for under‑16s - here’s what parents need to know📱🚫

Just updated my business profile picture. Turned 50 yesterday and definitely have more greys than I did 3 years ago when I transitioned from my staff role to assessing privately! Ever evolving! ❤️

📢 Read our response to the SEND consultation, calling for a system that is earlier, fairer and truly inclusive.

While we welcome the focus on inclusion and consistency, real change will only happen if reforms are properly funded and shaped around the needs of children and young people.

A key message: specialist teachers and specialist teacher assessors must be recognised as a core part of the SEND workforce.

Too many learners with specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia and dyscalculia, are still missed or supported too late and that must change.

Dyslexia won’t stop us from doing anything!
Did you know that both and were created by dyslexics?
Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates created products that are now used by millions of us!
So to all my young dyslexic friends, never forget that even though school may seem like an insurmountable challenge now, it won’t stop you from doing anything!
So, be brave and follow your passion and chase your dreams!

So much relevance for students sitting exams at the moment. Trying your best, is enough 🌟

No one is doing it perfectly, and that’s perfectly okay!

Good luck to all the Year 6 children tomorrow sitting their SATs ✏️🌈

Happy 100th Birthday to this amazing man. A true inspiration to us all ❤️

He continues to inspire current and future generations to take care of the natural world around them, a message that he highlighted this year in his most recent documentaries, Wild London and Secret Garden.
