3.5 million people in England aren’t getting the social care they need. As a member of the CSA, we’re asking MPs to come to the #ShowUsYouCare social care parliamentary event where they will hear from people who are directly impacted by social care.

Yesterday Sense campaigner Saihan joined Disabled Children's Partnership as they took Hannah’s open letter to Downing Street. Over 10,000 campaigners signed the letter and sent a message to the Prime Minister. EHCPs are critical for so many young people, and need to be protected.

"Children with SEND want ordinary things – a place to learn safely, the opportunity to take part in after-school activities and the chance for parents to work to support their children, rather than having to put their working lives on hold." Anna Bird dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

If Calvin had the support he needs, he would be able to learn life skills, develop his drama skills, learn to interact with people and get his education. He deserves a future where he can thrive, just like everybody else. bit.ly/FFOAction #FightForOrdinary #ReformSEND
