SEND Action

This is outrageous. The #SEND consultation is a total con. The government doesn’t care about our views of the #SEND reforms. They have already decided to remove disabled children’s rights. Please join the campaign. saveourchildrensrights.org.uk lawgazette.co.uk/news/key-final…

🚨 This report, a blueprint for SEND reforms, was published over half-term. Just in case it passed you by, below is a link: ippr.org/articles/break… Highly recommend reading its recommendations. #SEND #Inclusion #SpecialNeeds #EHCP #eduX #Schools

NEW POST: The DfE's response to the consultation legal case shows it doesn't care about your views of the SEND Tribunal—it’s already decided to kneecap it. For the sake of our children with SEND, we must not accept it specialneedsjungle.com/government-not…

Will you take a few minutes this weekend to write to your MP and raise your concerns about the Government’s attack on the rights of disabled children and young people? #SaveOurChildrensRights facebook.com/share/p/1EQaGQ…

Thank you to @edreyesjourno who saw this all coming. Weasel words indeed. The national conversation and SEND consultation was always a sham. The government, the CCN, LGA and their cronies stitched this up long ago and lied to us. lawgazette.co.uk/features/send-…

@educationgovuk @bphillipsonMP You’ve already decided to remove children’s rights. The consultation is an insult. rookirwinsweeney.co.uk/government-res…

📢 Parents. Carers. Teachers. You’ve been telling us that the SEND system isn't working. We listened, and now we're acting. Watch as @bphillipsonMP gets to the bottom of your white paper questions. Let us know your thoughts in the consultation 👇 gov.uk/government/con…

Government admits key final decisions on the SEND Tribunal have already been made, despite consultation on its SEND reforms being open till 18 May. It's at odds with ministers' statements on the consultation engaging people 'before any final decision'. lawgazette.co.uk/news/key-final…

@Georgia_Gould The SEND consultation is a lie. You have already decided to remove disabled children’s rights. Shame on you. rookirwinsweeney.co.uk/government-res…

Your voice matters. Get involved in our SEND consultation and help us shape a system that supports every child and young person with SEND to achieve, thrive and fulfil their potential. gov.uk/government/con…

This is outrageous: The government admits plans to strip the SEND Tribunal of its most significant powers are non-negotiable. The Law Society Gazette says a government response showed it won’t consider feedback on this critical aspect of its SEND reforms. lawgazette.co.uk/news/key-final…

Thank you to @BPhillipsonMP for taking the time to discuss our ongoing work to break down barriers to opportunity for our children and young people with me. Labour will make sure there is no class ceiling on the ambitions of young people in Britain.

We've reset the relationship between the government and teachers, so we can be partners in the push for better. Bridget Phillipson spoke with Garret Fay, CEO of Insignis Academy Trust, about how schools are working with the government to deliver change, so every child can achieve and thrive. We want to hear from you, too. Have your say on the SEND consultation: consult.education.gov.uk/send-strategy-…

The SEND reforms will give more power to local authorities.

@Georgia_Gould These reforms would reduce rights and accountability, undermine inclusion and give more power to local authorities that make unlawful decisions in 99% of Tribunal cases. saveourchildrensrights.org.uk

NEW POST: Eleanor Wright, Legal Officer with SEND law charity, @sos_sen asks sceptically if SEND lawyers are REALLY opposing the Government’s reform proposals just to protect their “vested interests” as Bridget Phillipson claims? specialneedsjungle.com/send-lawyers-o…

“Reforms of this scale demand honesty and transparency, not silence on the most controversial proposals.” theguardian.com/education/2026…

Education secretary Bridget Phillipson said lawyers who oppose her SEND reforms are a 'vested interest' who are 'exploiting parents'. This morning, a rebuke from Law Society president, Mark Evans. lawgazette.co.uk/news/society-r…
