NEW POST: A look at the new statutory school Allergy Guidance—but as SNJ's @TaniaLT explains, consultation responses have sent wider medical conditions guidance back for more work https://t.co/gBxctS2Q3n

@Beth_Tastic @SpcialNdsJungle The more interesting question is where are schools going to source, and who is going to pay for the ones a school should keep for emergencies ?

[Special Needs Jungle @SpcialNdsJungle]

New Government guidance for schools on Allergies has been published. It includes that pupils "should be encouraged to keep their ADs with them in their school bags and the setting should also stock “spare” ADs for use in an emergency: https://t.co/crqNWo4Nw1

Surrey MP, @_Chris_Coghlan has urged the Education Secretary to act over whistleblower evidence and family testimonies into SEND misconduct by LAs.
“..any plans to reduce children's legal protections… is, on this evidence, morally indefensible.”

NEW POST: @civicwatchblog & @romillyweeks @itvnews disclose the testimony of an LA SEND whistleblower, exposing the toxic culture of obstruction rooted inside England's SEND services. It's not only unchecked, it's encouraged. Read it on SNJ here: https://t.co/nRvQTaOucr

[Chris Coghlan MP 🔶 @_Chris_Coghlan]

I expect further sickening revelations in the national media in the coming months. It is now morally indefensible for the government to reduce children’s legal protections in favour of local authorities. I have written again to the Ed Sec. Further inaction risks being complicit.

@MelAinscow Unfortunately the SEND Proposals will only make this worse

Portes "Theres a lot of nonsense talked, including on Sky, about the spiralling welfare bill.. as a proportion of our national income.. its lower than it was 15yrs ago & its pretty much back to what it was under Thatcher.. this idea its out of control is just wrong"

Spot on!

On SNJ Today: SEND families know all too well the methods LA SEND departments use to delay support. Now, Measure what Matters and ITV share the testimony of a whistleblower who describes a system under instruction of toxic misconduct. Tell your MP: https://t.co/nRvQTaOucr

.@andyburnham you MUST act to stop SEND legal rights being weakened—it would be an intolerable injustice to families of #disabledchildren

Even LAs doubt BP's #SENDreform plans are doable! One LA (as we have) "identified changes to NHS England, ICBs and commissioning as a “high” impact risk to implementation". It also warned “system capacity may be insufficient" due to workforce challenges” https://t.co/PuW3qMaOYl

[Daniel Kebede @DanielKebedeNEU]

Invest in childhood not conflict.

The Government says there is "no money" to properly resource SEND, fully fund staff pay awards, or retrofit our crumbling, climate-vulnerable schools.

Prioritising a £15bn military increase while leaving mainstream school budgets running on empty is a political choice.
