On SNJ Today: The unacceptable truth of the 20 legal rights at risk of removal or reduction in @educationgovuk #SEND reforms. Why do @LucyMPowell @andyburnham think disabled children & their families deserve this? If you don't want this, take action: specialneedsjungle.com/unacc…

On Monday I was in Parliament speaking about disabled children’s rights. 20 rights are at risk from the Government’s proposed reforms.
If you felt able to sign and share 15 year old Tee Jay’s petition it would mean a lot.

38 days left! On Monday the Save Our Children’s Rights team will be talking to MPs in Parliament about the importance of disabled children’s rights. Will you help to get as many signatures as possible before the meeting?

Only 45 days until the petition to save disabled children’s rights closes. If everyone who has signed was able to get at least 3 more people to sign we could still make the target of 100,000. It just takes a moment and children can sign too.

We now know that the Government intends to remove the legal rights that disabled children and their families have relied on for almost half a century. We must fight these harmful SEND reforms. Please help to get Tee-Jay’s petition to 100,000.

Will you help to save the legal rights of disabled children in England? We have 99 days to get this petition to 100,000. Please will you sign it and ask as many people as possible to sign?

We did it! 1000km. Thank you so much for your support. If you haven’t had the chance to donate and would like to do so there’s still time.

Just one week and 133km to complete our challenge. Thank you to everyone who has supported so far and if you haven’t yet it’s not too late. Every donation will help support children with Down syndrome with specialist speech and language therapy.

Could you spare a few quid to save this specialist speech and language service for children with Down syndrome? We’re fundraising to bridge a gap until Ups and Downs Southwest can find a long term funding solution.

We’re a third of the way to 1000km. Thank you so much for your support to raise money for Ups and Downs Southwest!

Amazing news. We’ve made it to 82% of our fundraising target! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated. If we can get to the target it will keep the Ups and Downs specialist speech and language service running for another month.

I'm fundraising for Ups and Downs Southwest. Check out my @JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/page/gillian-…
Our family is taking on a 1K for 1K challenge — covering 1,000 km between 21 May and 21 June to try to raise £1,000 for the Speech and Language Therapy service at Ups and Downs Southwest. This vital service is under threat without urgent funding.

It would mean a lot to me if you could sign and share this petition. If the government goes ahead with its plans to reduce disabled children’s rights in England it will harm many children, including my son Jack.

The government wants to give unchecked power to local authorities in full knowledge that they routinely act unlawfully. Please join the campaign to save the rights of disabled children and young people. #SaveOurChildrensRightd

We’re continuing to collect evidence — and will shortly launch a dedicated campaign inviting professionals to share their experiences from inside the system.
Evidence matters.
Transparency matters.
