Today has reinforced with me why people affected by systems are the experts & should be at the heart of designing them (but of course, they're usually not).
I worked in Additional Support for Learning policy, wrote guides to ASL law, facilitated input from children/yp/parents into the ASL Act and wrote a book (out of date now).
Still none of that is anything like the experience of being a parent trying to get support in place for your own child. That's a very different perspective & one that too often feels like you have limited power within a big, clunky one-size-fits-all system.
We have such good policy in Scotland, but we still have a way to go to work out how to translate that into people's lives & how they experience the 'systems' they rely on. I hope #UNCRC incorporation helps.
