Over half of children with special education needs are missing school because their requirements can't be met. That's the damning findings from an ITV News investigation exposing a crisis in provision for children with these needs.
'The system doesn't work for anyone.'
Actress Sally Phillips has spent years fighting for special educational needs and disability provisions for her three neurodiverse children and says the system is frustrating.
I’m voting for @StuartBradyLab because I want a CHANGE in Reigate as well as nationally. He’s a can-do-and-will-do person who wants to hear what local people care about. (In sharp contrast with what we are used to.) #reigate#banstead#redhill
I am hoping with every fibre of my being that @StuartBradyLab wins tomorrow.He has worked tirelessly, meeting people & listening to them. I honestly think he is the right person to be our MP. Even if you don’t usually vote Labour, lend him your vote this time. #MakeAChange
