An amazing day at TEDxNorwichEd presenting The Shoeness of a Shoe and our journey over the past 5 years to #flipthenarrative. A humbling and emotional experience that we hope shared for many, hope and positivity for our children, young people and adults who are still perceived as ‘different’ in a world where we are all different, yet the same, one, human.

Events!

2018-2020 was a fantastic step in our learning and journey to #FlipTheNarrative…..after a humbling and inspiring 2018 which opened up our world. #CoPro19 Working Together Conference was a superb start to the year in Stockport,  working in partnership with Gareth D Morewood.

A short video of #CoPro19 can be seen here!

 

The TEDx At Norwich was next, concluding our busy summer work!

  • September started with our focused RRISC work and the meeting of the national steering group in London

We had the honour of joining Asda for their Inclusion Week managers conference in Leeds sharing our TEDx and why we need to #flipthenarrative in our work lives and also recognise the importance of ‘Being You’

We joined Raising the Bar 3 to reflect on what we bring to the table to support others, in particular those who may often be missed within our societal view. I had the honour of meeting the tour de force that is Sally Phillips again and was blown away by the whole positive movement and narratives shared on the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

November saw us join the Restraint Reduction Network in Bristol for their annual conference. We shared the human rights view around #flipthenarrative and why our approach to people we still yet do not understand, must be one focused within our view that everyone is human, regardless of difference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2018 Events

FestABLE 2018 was the first national event we attended. Barney Angliss invited us to chair three sessions titled ‘These Are Our Children’. It was a wonderful opportunity to launch #flipthenarrative and meet Jonathan Bryan from TeachUsToo, Jon Reid and Max Green and George Fielding. A day that inspired many to strive for the feeling on that day – of one, together. Coming again in 2020!!

#WomenEdNE Conference

#WomenEd saw us join in the northern movement #WomenEdNE in the summer of 2018 with the growing voice of many in education. It was an honour to share our journey, how our ‘why’ came about from selling a growing business, to coming home and developing an out of the box approach for education with an amazing team of Intervenors.

Raising the Bar Conference II

at the University of Birmingham was a hugely inspiring day with so many people across the fields of education, health and social care. Brought to us by Thomas Doukas, Ann Fergusson, Michael Fullerton and Joanna Grace it was an amazing day to discuss the standards for people with PMLD

SendHELP Conference

Later that month we were able to share our journey so far at #SendHELP in Durham alongside parents, professionals and people interested in how our children can and be in the world. It was a superb event hosted by NEU and organised by the phenomenal Mrs Emma Parker. Back again by popular demand this June!

            ResearchSEND                     

November saw us join ResearchSEND at Manchester Metropolitan University to ‘promote the importance of research in meeting the needs of learners with SEND, through events, collaboration, publications and research projects’. A brilliant day across many fields of interest.

We were thrilled to be asked join the Newcastle Parent Carer Forum later that month for their 11th Annual Parent Carer Conference
