The DCP response to the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Access to Disability Equipment Report

🙏 Yvette Cooper for truly listening to parents of children with SEND. You said that 'starting from parents experiences' is vital for forging a new system of support that works. The Government has a big opportunity now to root its reforms in the realities you heard today.

Our response to the Curriculum and Assessment Review. ⬇️

We strongly support the call for more investment in Speech & Language Therapy services. SALT services are key to supporting so many children with speech, language and communication needs.

Huge 🙏to our Trustees for getting right behind a new initiative to listen and learn from disabled young people ⬇️⬇️⬇️

'A broken system' leaving disabled young people on the precipice - delighted to be collaborating with The Challenging Behaviour Foundation on this important campaign ⬇️

'We must be advocates of hope, ambassadors of hope, agents of hope', Gordon Brown at the indispensable Child Poverty Action Group 60th anniversary on ending child poverty so 'every child has the chance to make the best of lives'. Disabled children and all children desperately need this to happen

This morning, Aisia attended a meeting with Minister Georgia Gould, hosted by Peter Swallow MP. The Minister showed real commitment to listening to practitioners, parents, & young people with SEND - and is keen to meet young people from The Collective to understand their experiences.

Our response to the publication of the County Councils Network SEND report

“Most people, when you say I am going to call an ambulance, you think they will look after her and make her well. I think: ‘Oh s***, they are going to kill her.'” - more horrific evidence of how people with learning disabilities are discriminated against in everyday healthcare

Our response to Richard Tice's comments.

Budget response here more to come tomorrow!

When we spend less, we can get better outcomes for children with SEND. Share the DCP and Speech, Language and Communication Alliance’s new report with Rachel Reeves and tell government what needs to change: speechandlanguage.eaction.org.uk/fight-for-ordi… #FightForOrdinary

Early is everything 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Better support in local 'one stop shop' hubs for babies and toddlers with disabilities could be a game-changer for families. Good talking to Vanessa Baffoe LBC about the govt's plans. If the new roles offer non-judgmental and practical help they will be welcome Kids

Best Start Family Hubs could be a game-changer for babies and toddlers with SEND. Too many parents still struggle to get early, practical, non-judgemental support. gov.uk/government/new…

Childhood disability and child poverty are deeply interconnected. Families with disabled children face extra costs and barriers to work, pushing them into poverty. gov.uk/government/new…

Really welcome the govt investment in more school places so that disabled kids can go to their local school👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

'Make your own magic' rather than feel you have to create a picture perfect Christmas ...👇👇👇

Big 🙏🏽 BBC Woman's Hour Nuala McGovern Carolyn Atkinson for spotlighting the practical stuff disabled children and their families grapple with everyday
