SEND Mum, advocating for entitlement to a full education in recognition of disability, need and an inclusive, equal life experience for the most vulnerable.
@SW_Help please explore why your staff was threatening to hold my autistic daughter on the train past her stop when digital ticket wasn’t loading quick enough
@RichardBurgon The £60000 CB cap needs to be moved first as this affects the working families. Especially when we are trying to live on one income due to caring responsibilities.
2. Even with the knowledge of EBSNA for three years, the LA are pushing for attendance to SEN schools even though my child has expressed no desire to ever step foot in a setting. She deserves to be listened to and EOTAS due to the trauma of being ignored by Surrey for three years
@mettlesome_teri She is in a financial position where her child will hopefully be provided for in the future. Us normal people, fighting for support from the LA and a cut in benefits. #SEND child has missed years of education, what are their prospects especially with little to no inheritance
@KirstieMAllsopp We have SEND children so moving within a chain would be extremely difficult and distressing for them. Buying a “second” home would make our transition easier but it’s a confusing system to navigate.
@LBC@TomSwarbrick1 I understand what @AngelaRayner was trying to do. Chain move for us would be impossible with SEND children. We also have to make sure they have a future of financial support, especially when LAs have left us stranded. SD needs to be scrapped!
@AngelaRayner and @UKLabour supporting families with SEND needs to be the priority, look into how LAs and school academies are withholding support and funding.
THREAD 🧵 Currently under a government who “accidentally” are able to avoid tax bills when selling a home. We are a household with SEND dependents, doesn’t this open @UKLabour eyes to the pressure send families are under? Carers Allowance, earn 1p over and the whole amount taken.
We are the only people who can support our children’s future financially @AngelaRayner especially when the system and LAs aren’t providing Alternative Provision, my children may end up using benefits due to lack of education due to Autism and EBSNA.
Moving house for us will be a task due second home costs. A practical solution for us would be purchase first, move, sell first home after. Enabling smooth transition for our SEND children. @MartinSLewis for the little people just wanting an easy life, not to fiddle the system.
@RichardBurgon My children with SEND are well beyond the early years support which @UKLabour are offering now. We still have no support after years of no education. What future do my children have under LAs and a government that refuses to acknowledge, support and believe?
@GMB This first thing I thought of when she explained her “mistake/bad legal advice” was the poor carers who can’t even earn a living due to CA cap. That needs to go asap! If a carer is able to make a living, a measly £81 a week is deserved to have in full no matter what income.
