“It’s different for every student and it’s based on what they need.” We spoke to Clare and Helen at Talbot School to find out about the tailored support they give children with SEND in a specialist setting. As part of our Plan for Change, we want to learn from special schools…
MPs are looking into the trouble disabled people, carers, & families have in getting vital equipment. They are asking for evidence. These surveys can go into the House of Commons library, so worth 5 minutes if, like us you've struggled. #SEND #disability surveymonkey.com/r/9Q3KFVR
"If provision for SEND children is no longer legally binding for mainstream schools, we will see a deepening in educational segregation. Children with the most significant SEND risk being denied a place where they can be educated alongside their peers.” bps.org.uk/news/restricti…

Please share this survey widely. It’s only up for a very short time and it’s important that a range of views are heard.

Why is no-one saying that children in special schools are probably LESS in need of an EHCP than those in MS? They already have SEP in a dedicated setting.

Our research shows that forcing parent carers to battle for support - & subjecting them to unsubstantiated accusations of neglect, abuse, or FII - puts them at risk of suicide & homicide. It's time to fix the system and stop blaming #ParentCarers!! thetimes.com/life-style/par…
