Hi. My name is Beth Milway, where I'm the strategic lead for send and inclusion in Stockport. Firstly, thanks for signing up for the newsletter. I think it's a brilliant way it was getting information out across Stockport. So if anyone's got anything they want to publicise, please let us know anything at all around. Send it. It's a good avenue, um, to get information out and I want to just quickly. I wanted to quickly update on some of the things that we've been doing. As people know we're on an improvement journey in Stockport. We've still got a long way to go, but we have done, some real brilliant work across the systems and across the communities in the last year. Some of the things I wanted to highlight particularly and say thank you to our son champions. I had a real the pleasure of going to send Champion session last week. Send Champions are a group of individuals who, um, really inspiring, who really want to promote sending inclusion throughout Stockport so must have thanks to them in the work they've been doing. And if anyone is interested in joining SEND champions, I know this information in the newsletter Um and I want to draw attention to some of the things like the community practise for coproduction, which we've launched, which will be meeting again in November, which had a really good, uh, initial session, looking at how best we can co produced with young people, families and the community that that's an initial session. And again, please watch out for dates for the next one in November, we've launched co production e learning training in the last six months, which is, um, can be accessed by anyone in Stockport. So please publicise this, um, as much as you can. And I want to say thank you to the same community inclusion group for the all the participation participants in that group who again, I'll do some great work and who that group is open to anyone in Stockport. So if you'd like to take part, please sign up using the details below. Um, as I said, we are in an improvement journey. There's still some way to go, and we're still focusing on things like time lapse of the HCP plans and annual reviews. We've got plans in place to look at that and we are launching a new Inclusion Service in Stockport in September that will be going into all our schools supporting the inclusion agenda. And please watch out for more information on that in the new um, the new newsletter in September, which will introduce the service to everyone in more detail we are looking at. We are rolling out speech and language training in all our schools at the moment and ordered them awareness training as well. So please, uh, look out for that as well. Um, I wanted to draw people's attention to the fact that in September we are having a new focus on engagement and communication. And if anyone would like to be part of that work, then please let us know. Um, and any import it's particularly around lived experiences really, really valuable. And really, we will take feedback on board. Some of the feedback we've had recently from families is specifically about holiday play schemes, and it's really difficult to access those, um, for send families. We are working with have providers and with holiday play schemes providers more generally, and we'll be doing a lot more planning around that in the future to ensure as much inclusion as possible and everyone gets the chance to access holiday play schemes. So there's a lot going on in Stockport. I'm more than happy at any point of the discussion with people and to meet with people. And I look forward to speaking to you soon. Okay. Thanks. Bye.
