The law on #SEND isn’t failing. It’s being systematically undermined from within. Our new article for @SpcialNdsJungle examines how accountability in public office has broken down- and what it will take to restore it.

NEW POST: Independent public accountability initiative, Measure What Matters writes an excoriating, evidence-backed article that the law on #SEND isn’t failing, it’s been systematically undermined from within. Please consider sharing with your MP. specialneedsjungle.com/law-send-isnt-…

Only 5 days left until the petition closes on 9th October. Will you help us to protect the rights of children with special educational needs and disabilities? It would be amazing if we could get over 130,000 signatures. #SaveOurChildrensRights saveourchildrensrights.org.uk

Today, we launch the #SaveOurChildrensRights joint campaign. Govt plans could remove EHC plans and weaken legal rights for children with SEND. We can’t let that happen. The law isn’t the problem - failure to follow it is. Join the campaign 👇saveourchildrensrights.org.uk

The Local Government Association is lobbying hard for the removal of disabled children’s rights - see page 26 onwards. Now would be a good time to sign the petition. #SENDScandal petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7110…

NEW POST: The Government has responded after our Save SEND Legal Rights Petition passed the threshold—but it misses the point entirely. @CutScenesUK has our reaction to the response and why we still need you to get it over the 100k finish line! specialneedsjungle.com/government-res…

The government is considering removing disabled children’s right to support (education, health and care plans). We’ve been told a white paper is due any time. We urgently need your help to get this petition to 100,000 to get a debate in Parliament. 1/2 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7110…
