CENMAC Advisory Teacher Maureen De Longhi shared some great photos from her morning at the BATA breakfast event yesterday (5/11/26) at the Houses of Parliament. The aim of the meeting was to highlight the vital role of Disabled Students` Allowance (DSA) in supporting children and young people with disabilities. Maureen had some interesting conversations with Richard Quigley MP and Lord Addington who are both strong SEND allies.
