The New Government White Paper for SEND – what does it mean?

As you will know the government published its White Paper last week outlining the changes which it proposes to make to the SEND system.

Having read the DfE documents and the accompanying Council for Disabled Children publication, I am now offering a free online/ video question and answer session for parents, to help discuss and explain the proposed changes with you.

The time and date of this event is as follows:

11am on the 18th of March 2026

Please email me if you would like the link; places are limited.

Best wishes to you all,

Can anyone recommend a venue for an end of summer term staff training day/social? Thinking table and chairs for a learning/speaker part of the morning, but somewhere that also then does a buffet and drinks afterwards.

🗓️Tomorrow the new SEND White Paper is published.

And while policies will shift, headlines circulate, and frameworks change…

One thing stays the same.

Children still need us.

They need adults who:
🫶listen when they say school feels unsafe
🫶understand that behaviour is communication
🫶see anxiety, sensory overload and shutdowns as distress — not defiance
🫶protect their right to appropriate support

⭐️For SEND children and young people, rights are not abstract.
🫟They are lived. Felt. Experienced daily in classrooms, corridors and homes.

As professionals, parents, and services, our role is steady and unwavering:
✨ To advocate.
✨ To interpret the system.
✨ To translate policy into protection.
✨ To centre the child, not the paperwork.

At Turn the Page Counselling, we will continue to stand alongside SEND children and their families — calmly, clearly, and above all confidently — whatever tomorrow brings.

To all the children heading back to school after half term tomorrow — we’re wishing you a gentle start, kind teachers, safe spaces, and adults who truly see you. 💛

To those who remain at home, and are waiting for the space that understands and supports them, we stand with you. 💙

If you’re feeling uncertain about what these changes may mean for your child, you are not alone. We are here to help support your child, to be the safe space for them and for you. Lean on us for as long as you need, and know that we will be in your corner.🤍

🤍Connection will always come before compliance. 🤍

When we work with neurodivergent children and teens, our focus isn’t on “fixing” behaviours or pushing school-based expectations. It’s about building safety first. Real connection.⭐️

Because when a young person feels understood — not managed — everything changes.

At Turn the Page Counselling, we:

✨ Prioritise connection over school compliance
✨ Take our time — no rushing, no pressure
✨ Follow special interests to build trust and regulation
✨ Create sessions that feel safe, creative and genuinely affirming

Whether that’s talking about gaming, drawing favourite characters, building with LEGO, deep-diving into a niche passion, or simply sitting quietly side-by-side — we meet young people where they are.🫟

From there, growth happens naturally.

Neurodivergent clients deserve spaces where they are accepted, not corrected. Where curiosity replaces control. Where relationship comes first.

If you’re looking for neuroaffirming therapy support in a calm, welcoming space at our office in Great Moor, Stockport, we’re here.

📞Get in touch today to explore how we can support your child or teen 🤍

💙 We’re Proud to Be Think-Carer Champions 💙

Many of our team have now completed the Think-Carer Champion training with Signpost — strengthening our awareness of the unique needs of staff who have caring responsibilities.

Caring roles don’t stop at home.
They sit quietly alongside jobs, deadlines, emotional labour, and professional responsibilities.

As therapists, we support:
• Parents caring for neurodivergent children
• Adults supporting elderly relatives
• Young carers balancing school and family life
• School staff managing caring roles outside of work

This training deepens our understanding of how caring responsibilities can impact wellbeing, capacity, attendance, stress levels, and emotional resilience.

It also means we are more mindful when working with:
✨ Our own team
✨ Associate therapists
✨ School staff we support
✨ Education settings where young carers may be present

Being carer-aware isn’t just a title — it’s a commitment to creating psychologically safe, compassionate, and flexible spaces.

If you are a staff member, teacher, therapist, or parent carrying more than people see…
We see you. And we understand.

A heartfelt thank you to Signpost for delivering such an important and insightful training.
