Hi Carol I’d be suggesting to school that they think about different role models they invite across their assembly programme; many schools will have this as an action related to their Equality duties.  In relation to disability specifically, if there are not ex-pupils they can invite in or adults from the local community, you could suggest a clip from the pdnet level 1 training.

I was going to post a similar question, and ask if anyone had any ideas for guests you can book to speak in an assembly (no idea how much this costs!) I know we have had some brilliant motivational speakers at the PDNet conferences... could anyone drop any names for me please? thank you

Thanks Jane, I did suggest outside /motivational speakers. that's a good idea about the level 1 training clip though.

I hope you get some responses to your question Lucy, I think some sort of list/contact details here in resources would be great to have.

Is there a reason why my comment from March 9th hasn't been approved?
