I’ve been calling for stronger support for the BBC World Service since entering Parliament, so this funding boost is a really welcome step forward! In a world of growing disinformation, backing trusted, independent journalism has never been more important. #BBCWorldService

How ironic that it was Margaret Thatcher as Sec of State for Education in 1973 that set up the Inquiry that led to the Warnock Report in 78 and Thatchers 79 government that implemented this in the Education Act of 1981 giving parents much greater rights 1/2

I am Zoe James, known as ZJ. If you have read the blog by Celia Kitzinger about what happened to us, you will already know part of our story. If you haven’t, here is a brief recap. I made a complaint about a psychologist, about their behaviour and professional conduct.

This is part of the problem with SEND advocacy - charities who take Govt money.

@TheSecretSendM1 What are the particular unlawful things you told them about? Was Gareth Everton involved? I've filed about 5 formal complaints in the last few weeks.

I'm taking part in some co pro. I've pointed out at least 2 unlawful things and the LAs secrecy over ASC being able to fund transport. I'm sure they love me, but more to the point, why as parent/carers are we the ones picking up on unlawful policy and not the LA legal/QA teams?!

Dr Jonathan Broad is absolutely right - the current SEND system is too slow, too adversarial, and not working for families. Labour’s reforms are a positive step toward earlier support, stronger mainstream provision, and a more inclusive system that puts children’s needs first.

@SpcialNdsJungle I just can't understand why Councils' views dominated the Government's thinking on this matter.

The government has admitted that decisions on changes to the powers of the SEND Tribunal and proposals to shift the legal duty to secure provision in Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) from local authorities to schools have already been made. rookirwinsweeney.co.uk/government-res…

1/ Day in the life of a Suffolk Carer @suffolkcc text 'you need to fill in this form we didn't tell you we sent you' Meanwhile 15 mins later, router turned off and on again, tablet turned off and on again but it's actually just their portal that won't load (just a blank page).

@SpcialNdsJungle I think the Tribunal is quiet-quitting already. For the second time this year my hearings (separate appeals for different children) have been cancelled the day before. Got this today, despite both parties responding in full and on time, as per the order.

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…
