Another report on support for children with SEND that talks about parents' 'expectations' rather than what the law requires. What parents expect is that schools will understand and follow SEND law. This is not an unreasonable expectation.

How lucky Maternity Action is to have Ali Fiddy as their new director. Everyone at IPSEA wishes her well.

Parents and carers 📢

Our legal team will be back on our Facebook page tomorrow for a special Q&A session! We’ll share a dedicated Q&A post in the morning where you can send us your questions.
