It’s been a year since our children spoke up, went to Parliament and delivered a letter to Downing Street.
They didn’t get a reply.
The stink in our town is worse than ever.
Classrooms smell, the kids don't want to play out and it's affecting the mental health of so many people.
This is their message to the Prime Minister.
Please share.
Your voice matters – and we're listening!
We want this to be the biggest national conversation on SEND in a generation, to deliver better outcomes and make sure all children can achieve and thrive.
Join us for the first in a series of online events this Wednesday 3rd December at 6pm, giving parents and those in the SEND community the opportunity to shape reforms.

@CostaCoffee you need more staff in your Basingstoke Festival Place store near M&S. The young staff were working their socks off today but people were having to wait a long time to be served and for their drinks. Extra people needed!
This is Frank and he has had a coffee stand at the top of the steps at Bethnal Green tube for as long as I can remember.
When the new restaurant/coffee shop next door opened along with another high street outlet opening across the street, Frank suddenly found that his license from the council had been revoked and he was chucked off his stand.
I believe it was to make way for these new shops to take his regular custom. They didn’t need him in the way of gaining maximum profit... so Frank was gone.
Well the locals were having none of it and a petition started demanding his return.
How dare they do this to him.
How dare these people smash his business and leave him with nothing.
After a lot of pressure the council backed down and Frank had his licence and pitch returned to him but sadly by that time Frank had sold his equipment to feed his family and try to survive.
So the good people of Bethnal Green started crowdfunding and here’s the result... Frank back in business on his old pitch with brand new equipment and even a little hut now to shelter him from the rain... Brilliant!!
He is truly the happiest man in East London and it’s wonderful to see.
It really does show that if we all stick together, stand up to them and just say no... the little guy can win.
If you’re in Bethnal Green come and have a coffee with this lovely man. 🧡
@johnredwood The gvt have limited people's opportunities & caused huge divides in society which Reform are now taking advantage of.
Nigel Farage doesn't care about the country. He cares about himself, his power & his wealth not those who have been brainwashed to vote for him. I'm worried.
@johnredwood I agree with you here John. The council need to change their model somehow to encourage shoppers and new businesses into the town.
But, I feel that you and your Brexit and Conservative friends have done much more to make lives a misery for people. Why have you done that?
STOLEN INSTRUMENT
Today my beloved flute was taken. It was in a beige rucksack, stolen between Platform 3 at Farringdon and East Croydon Station, on the 9.34 train to Brighton.
Flute is a Brannen silver Millenium 5320 with a silver Lafin headjoint w/gold lip plate. Please share!
@SkyNews 🙄 not all children are off because they just don't fancy going to school. Sending the headteacher round to pick up a child with e.g. mental health issues would just add to the struggles that the child and family are facing. As if headteachers don't have enough to do!
