The SEND system is not working effectively, which is having devastating impacts on the lives of children, young people, and their families.
Proud to have co-led this report with Uta Papen, which includes key shortcomings with the current system and a number of recommendations.
A report launched today by Child of the North - led by @n8research, @_henorth and @annelongfield’s @Cfyounglives - urges the new government to focus on early identification and support of children with #SEND tinyurl.com/2khv9rjt

New paper available online in Memory and Cognition! We explored social offloading (i.e., the leveraging of other agents in the social world to facilitate cognitive performance) among adults using a novel visuospatial working memory task. Check it out here: link.springer.com/article/10…
