Our immediate thoughts following the publication of the Schools White Paper

[Disabled Children's Partnership @DCPcampaign]

In this session with MPs DCP Chair, Anna Bird, called out the lack of detail on health support, essential for disabled children, in the Govt's #SENDreforms. The DCP will continue amplifying members' and families' many concerns over the Schools White Paper.

The UK government is making decisions about SEND support - and they need to hear from young people with SEND.

If you're aged 13-25 with SEND, this is your chance to speak up about what really matters in your life, your education and your future.

Yesterday, alongside @letuslearntoo we hosted a parliamentary briefing with MPs and staffers on the Schools White Paper.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

An important update 👇

[Contact @contactfamilies]

** Reduced water bills for disabled households announced **

Low-income disabled households with a water meter will get reduced water bills as part of reform to the WaterSure scheme in England and Wales.

Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Attendance Allowance will join the list of qualifying benefits for the scheme, the government has announced.

A change to price cap rules will also see most existing WaterSure claimants save up to £100 each.

The reforms will come into force in early 2027. Water companies in England must adopt the changes, but in Wales the changes will be voluntary.
