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 🙏💜
In the Universal Credit Bill Natalie Bennett made a superb speech explaining how the Bill will make life tougher for thousands of disabled people. She will move a regret motion so that people can see that some of us would stop the Bill if we could. (Money Bills can't be stopped.)
NEW POST: Department for Education 's URGENT survey for data on its new obsession: Mainstream #SEND units. All good, or is there a danger of shunting children into generic provision? We give you our views, then please give the DfE yours specialneedsjungle.com/government-obs…
