In 1983, IPSEA was set up to support parents and carers of children with special educational needs. Today, IPSEA is the leading charity in England helping children and young people with all kinds of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to get the support, education, and training opportunities they are entitled to under the law.

I'm taking on #Challenge40 to mark IPSEA's 40th anniversary because I want to help protect, promote and uphold the rights and entitlements of children and young people with SEND. Funds raised through my challenge will help IPSEA to train an estimated 50 new volunteers through 2023.

In my commitment to make a positive impact, I have taken on the ambitious task of creating 40 free resources on the TES platform, utilising my knowledge of special educational needs laws. Though I admit feeling a bit terrified by this challenge, I am determined to complete it by my Mum's birthday on 14th August.
