Well. We’ve only gone and won an award. Here is Caroline (one of our trustees) beaming from ear to ear and rightly so! We are very surprised and pleased that spreading truthful information about the law for SEND parents and professionals matters enough for people to vote for us!

The petition has now reached almost 19,000 signatures. Please will you help us to protect disabled children’s rights and secure a debate in parliament? #Disability #SEND

If your child is likely to be affected by the government’s proposal to get rid of EHCPs for children in mainstream schools, please comment below and share the petition. Grateful if those who support disabled children’s rights would share too.

“Speed is of the essence when a young person’s education is at stake, and local authorities must act proactively in finding a suitable alternative placement and ensuring that the special educational provision can continue to be provided.”
The High Court confirms the local authority’s ‘absolute’ duty to secure special educational provision promptly. Learn more: loom.ly/F8cZJhk

Disabled people treated "as an afterthought" during the pandemic - the Disability Charities Consortium asks @covidinquiryuk to consider the impact of the pandemic on disabled people this week as Module 3 of the Inquiry gets underway.
10 Sep 2024
This week as part of the Disability Charities Consortium our evidence is being heard at the Covid-19 inquiry on how disabled people were hit the hardest and were often treated as an afterthought during the pandemic. This is a key moment to make disabled voices heard.

Did you listen to @BBCWomansHour this morning?
The SEND-focused episode heard from parents, young people and those who work in the sector.
It also featured new research from the DCP. You can listen to the episode now: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0022ss…

Parents spend so much time fighting the system for rights their children have but can’t enforce. Children who are not in school means parents not in work. If we support children into their education- we support working parents. It’s not hard.

A bunch of stats out today about the English SEND system: a system that's been in dire straits for decades, & in long-grass review for nearly 5 years
The SEND system has now reached a point where Gazza rocks up with a KFC party bucket, a fishing rod, and 8 cans of Ace lager

Some amazing parents are raising funds for us to help us keep spreading FREE accurate and useful legal knowledge for SEND parents, lawyers and LAs. This helps everyone stay out of the legal system and focus on the education of SEND kids. @thehallschool

This is both brilliant and depressing that they had to do it. We need more people with learning difficulties to be given the opportunity to work. Great employees - just need reasonable adjustments. bbc.com/news/articles/c2v919…

David has been producing this guide for over 15 years. We are fortunate that he and @leonglenister host it on our platform and we hope it makes it more accessible to parents. Producing this is not free - charitable donations from parents make this possible. Pl share.
5 Mar 2024
The latest edition of David Wolfe KC's "Noddy 'No-nonsense' Guide" on SEN law has been published.
The free guide is the go-to resource in #SENLaw for all practitioners.
