My The Times and The Sunday Times article today on the rumoured slashing of disabled children's rights. "Morally it's up there with breaking into a car and stealing a child's blue badge." #SEND thetimes.com/comment/column…

NEW POST: The Government has responded after our Save SEND Legal Rights Petition passed the threshold—but it misses the point entirely. Cut Scenes has our reaction to the response and why we still need you to get it over the 100k finish line! specialneedsjungle.com/government-res…




Tomorrow's The Times and The Sunday Times and The Guardian front page splashes, stories in The Sun Daily Mail The Telegraph and the Financial Times coverage of deep concerns over #SEND reform . Morally and politically is the government doing the right thing? Disabled Children's Partnership
