I urge all parents, charities, schools & professionals working in this area to get in contact with your MP’s as per my friends over at Special Needs Jungle’s post. We cannot keep quiet about these proposed reforms. We need to make noise now so the govt knows what they are up against.

It’s going to be a hot one this weekend 🥵 so while not cool off and come along and speak to me at the SEN Legal stand on Saturday? I hope to see you there!

Finallly!!! Some positive news for once regarding SEN and the statutory override being extended!! schoolsweek.co.uk/send-deficits-…

Gosh what a busy day at Autism & ADHD Show - thank you to all the wonderful parents who come along to listen and to speak to us afterwards. It was lovely to meet you! 👋🏼

Message to government: make the education system work for children & young people with SEND - but don't take away their legal rights to support. Our rights-based framework for disabled children is something we should be proud of, not a target for cuts.

Interested to see what part of the EHCP process Ministers may think we don’t need - is it where: - we identify all the child’s special educational needs? - we specify the provision reasonably required to meet those needs? - the child gets the right to attend a suitable school?

Kate Cox did a phenomenal job in this interview and IPSEA should rightly be proud of her contribution and that she represents the organisation!

At IPSEA, we're used to people making all sorts of rash statements about SEN and EHC plans, but even we have been surprised by the extent of misinformation we have seen shared and in the press recently. So let's clear some things up...🧵 1/5

What should be write about today asked someone at KentOnline. I dunno, maybe demonise parents who secured an EOTIS/EOTAS package via Tribunal without giving any balance to the article or explaining the legal framework… kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/one-…

Richard Nettleton Steven Wright KentOnline “There are a dozen Kent council employees who each cost the Kent taxpayer more than £160,000” would be just as true, and just as useless in explaining why KCC’s finances are the way they are

ITV looks at the "Human cost of the SEND Tribunal" Though it has to be said that it's not the Tribunal's fault—it's the LAs that consistently make unlawful decisions so parents (who have the capacity to), are forced to appeal. youtube.com/watch?v=GcZd1d…

While it doesn’t make it any easier having to fight for legally protected rights, hopefully at least one parent will watch this and know that they are not alone! itv.com/watch/news/tre…

Another great article from Special Needs Jungle with the farcical nature of the White Paper creating déjà vu in respect of the failed Green Paper some years ago….

This is very much a self centred retweet as this has become one of my favourite parts of the Christmas build up and seeing all the entries! However, if you know someone who would like to enter please let them know! #ChristmasCardCompetition
