Our toolkit for disabled councillors is now live.

Our new report, produced with @LGAcomms, represents a stock take on the government's planned SEND reforms.

A majority of councils believe they will improve outcomes, but @BillRevans says ministers must avoid the temptation to 'cherry pick' proposals ⤵️

New research for the LGA and CCN shows strong council backing for the Govt proposed SEND reforms, with 81% saying they will improve outcomes. The report highlights the need for funding certainty and accountability to deliver reform.

Today sees a year since the disposable vape ban was introduced.

We’re now calling for a change to the definition of single-use vapes to close an industry loophole, reduce vape waste, and prevent dangerous bin lorry and waste fires. ⬇️

That’s why we’re urging the Govt to pause and work with #LocalGov to develop a clear and workable model. 👇
