Andy Burnham begins his term as PM, we urge the new government to prioritise speech, language |& communication support in education. Communication is not a luxury - it’s the foundation of learning, confidence, & opportunity. Let’s make this the moment real change begins!
The biggest changes to England's SEND system in over a decade are being decided now.
With a new Prime Minister in post, we need to ensure the SEND system reforms put disabled children, families and their rights at the heart of the agenda.
