Isnāt it amazing that 90% of LAs can get SEND reform plans approved in one attempt to get millions of Ā£Ā£ while most canāt get an EHC needs assessment done in a legal time frameā¦ āHandful of areas still to have Local SEND Plans approved by governmentā

It is not necessary to remove disabled childrenās rights to improve the SEND system. Please listen to families. Over 80,000 people have signed the petition to protect #SEND legal rights.

I have received a parking charge notice from MET parking services after a recent visit to the birmingham airport car park 6 restaurant.
This for being 11 minutes over the allowed time. I visited the restaurant with my family and all six of us ordered food.

If you canāt enforce an entitlement, itās not an entitlement, itās a privilege
āThe key issue is not only what happens with regard to what a child is entitled to, but also whether that entitlement can be enforcedā: two @IPSEAcharity legal experts issue a warning about the governmentās SEND plans

Once more for those at the back: It's NOT the SEND system, it's the maladministration of it and the lack of funding #SENDdebate @GregoryStafford @civicwatchblog @_Chris_Coghlan

Hereās an idea, in order to ābest provide for a childās complex needsā why not continue to give them their legal rights, which protects the individualised provision the individual childās needs require, as set out in their legally protected EHCP. Wild suggestion I know.
āParents need clarity, what counts as ācomplex needsā and who decidesā¦ā
Watch as @bphillipsonMP gets to the bottom of your most frequently asked white paper questions.
Let us know your thoughts in the consultation.

We need to make as much noise as possible before the consultation closes on 18th May. Let's come together, let's make noise. Do not stay silent. Do not let your silence be the acceptance to these proposals.

This is the time to come together, to spread knowledge, to make sure people are not blindsided by the 'positive spin' that is being served to us about the proposed changes in the White Paper, and to understand what they 'really' mean for you as parents, professionals, and schools

SENCOs what are your thoughts about the SEND reforms? As a parent and OT I'm really concerned about them but curious to know what you think?

@Headteacherchat
Curious to know how headteachers are viewing the SEND proposals? Specifically that responsibility will move from LA to schools to make decisions and provide provision. It seems like this will cause a lot more parent complaints and a lot of work for schools.

This is truly disgusting behaviour and a catastrophe for children and young people.

The right to appeal placement to a Tribunal came from the 96 Education Act again under a Conservative Government. And again the 2014 Act extended rights - under a Conservative Government. Now a Labour Government is rolling back legal rights by decades. Shame on you Labour

So much for listening to parents and families....
This is disgraceful. A betrayal of the most vulnerable.

ALT image shows An image that shows people in smart suits, one of them a woman with blonde shoulder length hair and another with an auburn short bobāaround a table looking like they're enjoying destroying a judicial scale and hammer and wig--a metaphor for destroying justice. Behind them is a picture window and on the outside of the window, looking through it, stand some parents in casual dress--like jeans and jumpers, holding children. They are looking horrified, sad, and upset at what they can see
