Councils are treating teenagers like homeless adults and placing them in unsuitable temporary housing rather than taking them into care. Local authorities are “waiting out the clock” until vulnerable 16- and 17-year-olds can be classed as adults.

Congratulations to Ken Upton MBE.

His tireless advocacy for families of children with #SEND continues to make a significant impact across the SEND community.

A well-deserved recognition in His Majesty The King’s New Year Honours List 2025.

🚨The special needs system is on the brink of collapse. The government's spending watchdog will publish its own likely damning investigation this week

But we’ve been chronicling the collapse for years. And I just want to set out how seriously bad things are … (mega 🧵)

@SENDPAG @1839_dt @marieannswift @BrumLeader @Ms_SThompson @RobPocock1 @Cllr_suleman @nickyebrennan @CllrMajid Political shake up is needed

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@SENDPAG @1839_dt @marieannswift @BrumLeader @Ms_SThompson @RobPocock1 @Cllr_suleman @nickyebrennan @CllrMajid I'm still hopeful kier Starmer will clean house and make things better. The Tories couldn't be left to go on . If Labour don't make change they will be out

@1839_dt @marieannswift @SENDPAG @BrumLeader @Ms_SThompson @RobPocock1 @Cllr_suleman @nickyebrennan @CllrMajid @UKLabour I agree, the labour council are a law unto themselves. Just as Tory central gov needed to go so does our Labour LA

@SENDPAG @1839_dt @marieannswift @BrumLeader @Ms_SThompson @RobPocock1 @Cllr_suleman @nickyebrennan @CllrMajid It's disgraceful how the vulnerable are suffering under this administration

[IPSEA @IPSEAcharity]

Noticing a new trend for local authorities to apologise to families for failing to support children & young people w/ SEND. First Surrey; then Newcastle; and many other LAs could be doing same. https://t.co/mGJThy7g2B

@SENDPAG @Destinee @mumof3amigos @garyboy1477 @ShannahanLuke They just making cuts to vulnerable whilst adding to sess pool of damaging bureaucrats in my opinion.

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@SandwellSkidder @eldiablo0786 @DarrylMagher @cllralexyip @AngelaRayner It's a festering sess pool of turd polishers

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@SENDPAG @mumof3amigos @Destinee @garyboy1477 @ShannahanLuke I'm so fed up of that festering pool of turd polishers

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@SENDPAG Perhaps they could sell the artwork that is hanging in the authorities offices or in storage that's not on public display for the benefit of constituency

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@James_Bovill @BhamCityCouncil The unmet need this LA in my opinion is creating will have a knock on effect of poor outcomes and poverty for the most vulnerable in society

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@SENDPAG @mumof3amigos Gah

@mjfree I think you will look good in orange Mr Trump

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@Destinee @SENDPAG @joanneroney @garyboy1477 @mumof3amigos Our children are again he having outcomes cut , they will spend their lives being penalised for not being able to be independent, or reach their full potential. @BhamCityCouncil

@James_Bovill @BhamCityCouncil Thank you for highlighting this James

[sylvia Stanway @sylviaStanway]

@James_Bovill @BhamCityCouncil This is so tragic, parents giving up work because they recognise their child will be on this planet longer than them. Therefore, they simply can't fall out of education,they must keep working towards those independent outcomes.
