At CENMAC, we believe that young people should be not just be included in conversations around accessibility and education, they should help lead them. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the CENMAC Changemakers Collective (CCC), a new group bringing together young people, supported by the CENMAC service, who use assistive technology and have lived experience of SEND. The group, led by CENMAC`s Student Voice Lead Khamani Edwards, met earlier this month to discuss their response to the consultation around the SEND Reform White Paper. Read Khamani`s blog to find out more about their thoughts illustrated in this fantastic graphic.
