The overlap between looked-after children and SEND is huge.
About 30% of CIC have an EHCP.
Perhaps we need to improve early intervention?

“Children don’t wake up in the morning thinking, ‘How can I make my teacher’s life difficult today?’ Every behavior is a form of communication — a message about hunger, exhaustion, fear, or unmet needs. When we look beyond the behavior and listen with empathy and compassion, we see the emotion and the story beneath — and that’s where true teaching, connection, understanding, and healing begin.”

On SNJ Today: Delaying SEND changes is right—as long as it's not JUST a delay. And why do @educationgovuk & a new report @IPPR both use "most complex needs" to describe children who should be in special schools? What does the term even mean?specialneedsjungle.com/send-…

“If a child has been granted an EHCP, then you don’t suddenly start taking that away. Instead, you start thinking about alternative routes for children with SEND & their parents to gain the support they need?”: the launch of today's @IPPR inclusion report: buff.ly/R7WMPGX

KEEP SHOWING UP.
Even on the days when your patience runs thin and your energy’s running on fumes.
Keep showing up, not because it’s easy, but because it matters.
Your students don’t need perfection; they need presence.
They need to see that even grown-ups have hard days and still choose to care.
They need to know that consistency is another word for love.
And one day, you’ll look back and realize you didn’t just teach them, but left them better than you found them…
simply because you showed up.
— Dr. Brad Johnson #Room212

There’s real magic in teaching. It’s that moment when a student who used to struggle suddenly gets it, when their eyes light up, and you can see their confidence grow. You realize you didn’t just help the student learn—you helped the student believe in themself. That’s what makes teaching powerful. That’s what makes it matter.

If you work in a school with high deprivation, you also work in a school with high SEND.
Double disadvantage for many pupils, double the challenge for your team.
Important that everyone knows this.

One involved, caring, and patient person can change the entire trajectory of a struggling student’s life. When a child feels seen, believed in, and supported — not just when they succeed, but especially when they stumble — something shifts. Hope returns. Walls come down. Growth begins. Sometimes the greatest intervention isn’t a program or a plan — it’s a person who refuses to give up on them.

“There are no bad kids—only kids who have been hurt, misunderstood, or unheard. Every behavior tells a story of what happened to them, not what’s wrong with them. When we label a child as ‘bad,’ we stop looking for the reason behind the behavior—and we lose the chance to help them heal, learn, and grow. The belief that a child is bad doesn’t just wound the child; it blinds us to our greatest opportunity—to be the person who helps them turn it around.”
