The demand for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) professionals has grown significantly in recent years, reflecting the vital role these individuals play in supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our communities.

There’s a well-known paradox at the heart of health and care for older people. Hospital treatment is often costly and, for many older patients, can lead to worse outcomes over time – loss of independence, physical decline, and emotional stress.
