Catherine McKinnell MP Local Government Association (LGA) Isn’t it time that local authorities and government acknowledged their role in the failure to implement the SEND system properly? Failure to fund the extended age range, failure to commission adequate services locally, failure of scrutiny and accountability nationally.












Really grateful to Good Morning Britain for bringing this issue to the fore. I hope RCPCH will now discuss with Professor Andy Bilson, Professor Luke Clements, Dr Fiona Gullon-Scott, Cathie Long and Emily Dugan amongst many others. Time for change 🙏💜
