Having whinged previously, it is only fair that I give credit where its due. This is excellent #send #sen #ehcp Law Society Gazette Eduardo Reyes lawgazette.co.uk/features/send-…

We have joined more than 100 organisations and individuals to sign an open letter calling for Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) to be protected. EHCPs provide children with special educational needs and disabilities the right to have their education needs met. Children

A system that supports children's needs - that is #ehcps A system that doesn't require [parents] to go to Court - again that is #ehcp Nothing about the #send REQUIRES a 'fight' The issue is funding and resource. Sort that. #TheLawIsNotTheProblem x.com/LBC/status/194…

Im confused. We now are in a situation where Labour want the most disadvantaged in society to be the source of savings (PIP, #send, winter fuel payment) and we have Tory MPs demanding support remains, with wealth taxes raised. What has actually happened?

"Taken for a ride" "Spaff £400 million" "'...neurodiversity'. [is] one of those new age, ... fuzzy terms" "We have been sucked into this" "starting to feel like a Ponzi scheme" Contemptuous, hateful, drivel #sen #ehcp x.com/jessiehewitson…

Tone deaf. x.com/UKLabour/statu…

the EHCP system does not fail children local authorities do because of a lack of resource and because of how funding is managed blaming #ehcp for the issues is like blaming kids with #send x.com/SteveChalke/st…

It occurs to me that the current (rumoured) suggestion of scraping #ehcps is a little like owning a really good, reliable car, but scraping it because it runs out of petrol. That would be mad wouldn't it? You'd spend some money, get petrol, and enjoy the working car.

Hmmm. A Bill to require #send training is part of teacher training. bills.parliament.uk/bills/4001 Seemingly benign, but this could be the foothills of a broader reform about shifting #sen provision (and #ehcp) substantively into mainstream schools

I have written a piece for The i Paper expressing my alarm that the DfE has decided too much access to specialist schools is the problem it is going to solve: inews.co.uk/opinion/ive-al…

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

A new EHCP in from Surrey. Clearly immediately needs an appeal. The information about 'how' to appeal on the Surrey standard letter is completely baffling. It is a misleading and overly complex set of instructions, clearly designed to confuse parents #ehcp #send
