They are setting the narrative. There is no intention for change. Only the pretence of it so that Local Authorities can continue with unlawful practice justified by imminent chance. The non-accountability and law-breaking will remain, but redress Channels will be shut down.
When your dad comes straight to parents evening from the office. Try’s to make a point but even the teacher disagrees because your dad thought they were talking about your brother (no sound)

The code of practise made families believe that their children were more than what happened in school. It made parents believe that 3 ‘airbags’ would go off around their child.
The ‘Experts at Hand’ just feels like health and care services are there to facilitate education.

The white paper release has made me feel like parents have been in The Matrix. The system threw everything at them, they fought every aspect, got to the end and now it all starts again.
I was really hoping the 5 billion payout would at least have a regional Running Man esq competition to determine the percentage they received.

An horrendous story just been made public
Both children have additional/special educational needs.
They were 4 year old. I’ve spoken to both mothers this weekend and they knew non of detail written in this panel outcome report.

In September 2021 Barnsley received a WSOA for their Local Area Inspection.
It’s now 2026. Barnsley borough is a poor area and very deprived.
We have been abandoned by Ofsted, CQC and the DfE.
They even let the LA run parent voice.

Are they trying to fix falling down schools for nowt by robbing the HNB and pretending it is for SEND? I mean, why not, LAs have been getting away with that exact strategy for years.
No voice in her home town yet banging the drum of a knee jerk reaction to a chaotic white paper that said MP supported in full!
I want your voices to be heard on what needs to change in the SEND system!
The Government have launched the new “National Conversation on SEND”.
This is the biggest of its kind in a generation.

Any news on how the government are going to deal with our debts?
“If you have incurred any debt, loss of earnings and/or PTSD between 2015 and 2025 you may be entitled compensation”

Not only do Barnsley MBC run parent voice through organisations they fund and their 5 person participation department but now a report to Audit and Governance outlining parent voice updates is not made public to …. parents.
Also, DfE endorse it

Barnsley with its 8 person labour cabinet appears to be a great place for the government to role out its plans.
Absolutely zero cultural change in Barnsley education system but EWOs now being specifically employed to target getting kids off EHE.

It’s over 4 years since Barnsley failed its SEND LAI and no one gives one single fuck about our families.
The recordings of Contact, NNPCF chair and Rotherham PCF will be released soon and then the really dodgy stuff from BMBC directors is next.
SEND community my arse!

This government is getting to the point where it can be considered guilty of hate crime.
It will bewilder & disappoint Labour MPs & members the Chancellor is attacking disabled people again. Nothing seems to have been learnt from the debacle over the disability cuts fiasco. Motability was a great Labour achievement by PM Jim Callaghan in 1978. theguardian.com/politics/202…
How can we realistically bring in new reforms when a council and Contact collaborate to create false complaints to remove a parent and carer forum?
Contact took upwards of 10 safegaurding allegations against me and never the PCF. All whilst a BMBC manager was seconded!

Can’t quite pinpoint the time when a sentence [by a service to me and/or my children] started with “Exciting news…” and it actually meant is they are about to make your life more miserable.
