🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

We have responded to the Government's Schools White Paper consultation

"The reality of the proposals is no more than austerity and discrimination, wrapped up in the co-optation of inclusion and false claims of expanding rights."

@Georgia_Gould told me
*it's okay, your child will age out*

What about all the other vulnerable children & YP who will lose their legal rights to the right support?

[IPSEA @IPSEAcharity]

A legal challenge has been issued against the Government’s SEND reform consultation. The challenge highlights concerns about proposed changes to EHC plans, limits on access to and enforceability of specialist provision, and significant changes to the powers of the SEND Tribunal and rights of appeal - which are all concerns we share at IPSEA.

We will be following the progress of this legal challenge very closely, given the significance of the proposals currently being consulted on and the impact these would have on the legal rights of children and young people with SEND.

You can read more about the challenge here 👇 https://t.co/SSKCAlG24D
