Compelling, powerful and incredibly well-informed evidence from IPSEA. 👏

So good to hear Helen Joyce on Women's Hour matter-of-factly explaining why the Supreme Court judgment that sex means biological sex in the Equality Act is so important for protecting women's rights. Cutting through all the misinformation & hyperbole from the other side.

This has red flags written all over it.

There's an unpleasant taunting quality to the comments quoted here. "We’re not going to make everyone happy. So we need to be bold and brave." Bravely ramping up the anxiety levels of parents of disabled children. Bravo.

When SEN Support falls short, the impact on children and families can be devastating. Last week, we joined Contact, MPs & DfE officials to discuss strengthening the law on SEN Support - and shared our proposed legislative amendment. Read more: ipsea.org.uk/news/making-se…

This sums things up perfectly.

“The illusion Labour relies on – that there is no money – has gone up in a puff of smoke. If there’s cash to keep pensioners warm in winter, why aren’t there ways to raise funds to do the same for children or disabled people?” My col. on Starmer’s u-turns theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

SEND reform – recent media speculation 👇 If you haven’t already, please write to your MP using our template letter - ipsea.org.uk/write-to-your-… - it asks MPs to give their assurance that they’ll protect children and young people’s legal rights to support that meets their needs.
