A campaign by parents and carers of disabled children to stop the fight families face trying to get their children access to education

Pinned

📣 Parents & Carers — We need you to join us! ✊The Government is making BIG decisions about special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms — but where are the voices of the people most affected?

Chair @helenhayes_ spoke in the House of Commons on our Solving the SEND Crisis report. The Chair stressed that the crisis in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is "not just a challenge, it's a moral imperative."

Did you watch Kellie Bright - Autism, School and Families on the Edge, last night? The incredibly powerful documentary featured scenes from our #FightForOrdinary rally last month. So many of the experiences highlighted will resonate with the families we campaign for. (1/2)

I find it remarkable that a council is promoting an interview in which their councillor said: “[Our] deficit sits at £123.2million. That is money that is really meant to be for local services, which would have ordinarily gone to repair your roads.” Children or potholes??? #SEND

.@CllrJRussell46, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Learning, recently spoke to actress Kellie Bright about SEND issues, as part of a documentary for BBC Panorama. You can watch the full documentary on BBC One at 8pm tonight and on BBC iPlayer.

The rally was incredible. We all know what it takes for families to get out the door let alone to Westminster. Significant that @Georgia_Gould to hear from parents and the debate showed every constituency is impacted. @DCPcampaign @letuslearntoo @CutScenesUK

After last week, ministers should know this: a huge rebellion is coming if they mess with SEND and we will fight for our children’s rights - spot-on by ⁦@johnharris1969theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

MPs say a major shake-up is needed to improve education for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The Commons Education Committee says the requirements of SEND pupils should be an integrated part of mainstream education. @lornashaddick reports.

The chair of the Education Committee has recommendations for any SEND reform carried out by the government. Helen Hayes tells Sky News that parents will be made "more anxious" by "any discussion about reform that starts with a reduction in current entitlements". 👇🏼

Government must listen to young people with special educational needs. Young people like Katie, whose speech at the #FightForOrdinary rally in Parliament was incredibly powerful. Thank you to Woman's Hour for following Katie's story and giving her a voice. @Georgia_Gould

'We want the same rights as everyone else' Parents of children with SEND gathered today for a 'Day of Action', including a rally in Parliament Square. Katie, who has autism & struggled to attend school, told @bbcnuala she thinks the government needs to listen to young people ⬇️

This is exactly why we must do better. Every young person deserves tailored support that recognises their individual needs & helps them thrive Voices of young people like Siouxsie will continue to guide my work in Parliament to ensure every young person gets the support needed

Thank you for coming down, Munira. And for your important contribution to the debate. #FIghtForOrdinary @letuslearntoo @DCPcampaign @CutScenesUK

Great to meet with campaigners at the #FightForOrdinary rally ahead of the SEND debate later today. Families have waited too long for a system that works, the Government has to get this right.
