The Government's white paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving, emphasises inclusion and high standards for all children while acknowledging the challenges posed by accountability measures. These metrics often prioritise achievement over individual worth, particularly affecting those with SEND. True reform must shift from a productivity focus to recognising inherent dignity in every child.

God’s Gift of Self
Four Way Faith Part Three - Out: God's Gift of Neighbours. We must follow Jesus’ example with Zacchaeus to accept the hospitality of those who different from ourselves, who others look down upon and speak ill of, even those who cause harm to others. Through accepting the gift of others we break down barriers and our lives, others lives and the kingdom of God benefit. When new people move into the houses, streets and towns around us (even our churches) it can be tempting to complain about change, to reflect on the way things used to be, or the people we used to see. Our challenge as Christian’s is to have the view of seeing the outsiders, the others, our neighbours as gifts, welcoming and accepting the gift they are and the gifts they bring.
