It’s time to fix the SEND system. A whole generation of disabled children and those with additional needs are being let down by a broken education system

It is a huge milestone today with The Oliver McGowan Code of Practice being published
The Code will inform regulated staff how they must meet the law
They must get on with rolling out The Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training
There can be no more excuses @SKinnock
It’s looking increasingly likely that ministers have sold disabled kids out. Please, please, please sign and share the petition. Can we get this to 100,000 before the spending review?

Neurodiversity training in schools is being expanded for a year to reach an extra 1,200 schools. An extra £9.5 million has been earmarked for the PINS (Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools) programme. What's your experience of this? https://t.co/CgBBiozL7a
No matter how the DfE and its cherry picked advisors spin this, the truth is this move is attractive because it removes legal rights from the vast majority of SEND kids. LAs/schools will be able to act with inpunity & parents will have no recourse https://t.co/No9dpJlitu
❗️A mediation 'reminder'
If you choose to try mediation with your LA - whether it’s about a refused EHC needs assessment or about an EHC plan - the person who attends on the LA's behalf MUST have the power to settle the case and make decisions for the LA in the meeting. They can’t say they have to get someone else’s approval afterwards 👇

Bridget, we need to talk…Thinking about SEND funding is not parents’ job—they’re worrying about their children getting an education. The present system ‘hasn’t worked’ because it was sabotaged by LAs & funding cuts. NONE of this is parents’ fault. 😡🤯

"You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure." – Maya Angelou
Dr. Angelou turned struggle into strength, proving that resilience and love can heal. Her words continue to inspire change.
