#EHCPs 2024: Matthew Keer analyses depressingly awful data plus our EHCP Hall of Shame revealing the sad state of disabled children’s education, with growing numbers out of school specialneedsjungle.com/depressingly-a…

On SNJ Today: A grim report on support for #SEND learners as 83% of educators say disabled children aren’t being effectively supported to achieve. The 2024 Pearson school survey shows SEND is one of the top three concerns, after funding and recruitment specialneedsjungle.com/83-educators-s…

CW: Suicide This is both deeply upsetting and wholly unsurprising. We need to get back to the promise of Aiming High for Disabled Children, with sustained investment in short breaks and other services underpinned by a modern legal framework.

This report is another scurrilous effort by ISOS to decimate SEND children’s rights. Our colleagues at Special Needs Jungle tell it like it is!

And this in a context where legal aid for Tribunal appeals is incredibly hard to get, and solicitors with the legal aid contracts which can fund judicial reviews have little if any capacity for new cases

Any report on #SEND which suggests scrapping the Tribunal and reducing rights doesn’t merit any further serious consideration

“It’s hard to argue that Safety Valve is succeeding, even on its own desiccated terms. And no one should be ignoring the human impact of this policy.” Matthew Keer Special Needs Jungle

I remain concerned that aspects of Bexley’s Safety Valve agreement conflicts with OFSTED’s SEND inspection findings & hear these concerns from fellow SEN parents. I recently joined other MPs to meet Bridget Phillipson & Catherine McKinnell MP to raise these issues & will continue to do so

Parent carers' mental health is at breaking point. I hear from families DAILY who have disabled children out of school, refused EHCP assessments so can't even apply to a schools. Children not accessing healthcare they need. Disabled children have rights. The Labour Party please see us.

Excellent article: “Lack of stigma” blamed for rising SEND? We will NEVER be ashamed of our disabled children specialneedsjungle.com/lack-stigma-bl… via Special Needs Jungle

Our attention at IPSEA has been caught by two things recently: a succession of “innovations” by individual LAs, and an inadequate level of scrutiny in Parliament regarding the experiences of children & young people who depend on the SEND system. So, what’s been happening?🧵[1/10]

Post 16 Transport. The exploited loophole affecting our children’s preparation for adulthood and therefore life chances. #SENDNationalScandal specialneedsjungle.com/true-cost-cuts…

In our support group of 67000 members who share 100 posts a day detailing their thoughts & actions we see no evidence of this supposed change in attitude to schooling, we see parents who are desperate to access the support & understanding their children need to be able to attend

This is beyond ridiculous. Local authorities are failing to comply with legal duties, abusing and overloading the tribunal process (wasting public money) while using this information to lobby for the removal of disabled children’s rights.

We will ALL fight together to protect the rights of disabled children and young people. They are not up for grabs.
