95 days to go to get the petition to save disabled children’s rights to 100,000. If you’ve already signed please write a post or make a video explaining why it’s important to you. Petition: Protect legal right to support for children with SEND - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

Please get her on again and ask her why Labour want to reduce the rights of children and young people with SEN and disabilities. It's going under the radar. @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social

Great episode @quietriotpod.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social @christabelcoops.bsky.social The proposed SEND reforms are another let down and disappointment. I didn't expect Labour to take away legal rights and be so disingenuous about it.

NEW POST: The Government’s use of unaccountable ‘experts’ for SEND reform is shutting down debate & excluding vital voices: those of parents and people across the sector who don't agree with them—and says Dr Kieron Smith, it's undemocratic: www.specialneedsjungle.com/s...

On SNJ Today: Our first initial overview of the Government's proposals to change SEND— rights are given but more are taken away www.specialneedsjungle.com/s... #SaveOurChildrensRights

An update from SNJ's Renata on the Government's SEND proposals. Watch this space for more news and how you can help #saveourchildrensrights

NEW POST: The SEND reforms in the Schools White Paper reveal rights given, and rights stripped away— here is our initial overview www.specialneedsjungle.com/s... #SaveOurChildrensRights

The Schools White Paper with its accompanying SEND plans has been published. We're starting to go through it proposal by proposal. Here's Renata with more. We’ll add all links as we go #SENDcrisis #SchoolsWhitePaper #EHCP

Part 2 of Measure What Matters evidence: The Testimonies. Children died; the system looked away. Will today's government SEND reforms make this scandal even worse? www.specialneedsjungle.com/p... [Part 1: www.specialneedsjungle.com/c... ]

A hard but important read.

Save this: SEND 2026: THE TRUTH: Nothing’s changed 🔴 EHCPs, legal rights and duties remain in force 🔴 Proposals don’t mean LAs & schools cannot lawfully downgrade, remove, or refuse support 🔴 Legal change won’t be this, or even next year #SaveOurChildrensRights

Thanks @spcialndsjungle.bsky.social We needed this.

Thanks for SEND explainer @quietriotpod.bsky.social Great for people not involved in the system but still interesting for those that are.

A great analysis of the mess the Government continues to make of SEND reform. Thank you @spcialndsjungle.bsky.social

Our campaign group, #SaveOurChildrensRights is leading this fight and we’re ready- if the government want another benefits fiasco, bring it on. We’re strong, determined SEND parents and aLLM are welcome. Are you with us? Article: archive.is/ARzQU Socr.org.uk

This Times “speculation” had better be wrong—It would actively cause harm to children—there isn’t the expertise or infrastructure needed for this cruel plan. If it’s accurate, we will campaign against it vigorously. Which parent or school would back it? archive.is/KFcWB

Please do not underestimate issues caused by neurodivergence. I know too many people who have dropped through the cracks, some with tragic consequences. They just could not cope. People with autism are supposed to navigate this just to get a test? Unfit for purpose adhduk.co.uk/right-to-cho...

Bold reform is needed but unless there is investment, accountability and system-wide inclusion, EHCPs will remain both essential and overstretched - leaving children in legal limbo, when they should be in schools that can meet their needs as a matter of course. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Great work by Dr Hayley Smith and Dr Natasha Holden. We hope the Government are influenced by them and the psychologists that have signed the petition.

Congratulations @renatawatts.bsky.social and @tanialt.bsky.social So happy that you've been recognised for everything you do.

Thanks to the lobbying of thousands of parents, including our #SaveOurChildrensRights campaign, the mood over the future of #EHCPs seems to have shifted. Keep up the great work!

We will fight for our children's rights

On SNJ Today: Big news in SEND this week, including the SEND Inquiry report. First, we look back at yesterday's SEND Petition Debate as MPs speak up for EHCP rights. You need to know what's in store! www.specialneedsjungle.com/s... #SaveOurChildrensRights #SENDdebate

Later today some of the #SaveOurChildrensRights team will be in the public gallery for a Commons SEND debate after our campaign’s 122k signature petition. Earlier, there’s a SEND parent-led rally in Parliament square. Watch the debate live at 4:30pm: parliamentlive.tv/Event/Inde...#SaveOurChildrensRights

A reluctant share, but it’s important for every SEND parent to understand what his party thinks of them (if you didn’t already): SEND provision is being "hijacked by parents who are abusing the system", the deputy leader of Reform UK has said. www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp...

It was great to see Rubik's Cube at the Eastleigh Late Summer Festival.

DR UK Campaigner Mikey Erhardt spoke with Sky News about the Government's chaos and mismanagement, juggling Disabled people's lives. How on earth can they ever expect us to trust them moving forward after this calamity?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Second attempt to post today’s @quietriotpod.bsky.social. I’ll only add that the quiet empathy shown here over the recent PIP chaos was personally moving (my family has had a triple whammy of serious health issues over 3 years). And the trade news, neglected elsewhere, gave me hope.

Extra 150,000 people will still be forced into poverty despite welfare U-turn

Thank you. This bill has been rushed through and will be very harmful to disabled people and their carers.

'The hefty cut to health-related support, around 50%, will remain in place for new claimants. A dramatic rise in poverty is inevitable.' Read our Handbook Editor's breakdown of the Government's concessions - and why killing the bill is the only option. www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/dr-uk-h...

150,000 unpaid carers stand to lose their carers’ benefits by the end of the decade. ✍️Sign our open letter to the Prime Minister today: https://go.carersuk.org/PM_letter?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign&utm_content=ap_wceq86fcfu

NEW POST: After the excitement of hitting 100K signatures, today we examine Spending Review education cash. It was revealed SEND plans will now come in a wider Schools White Paper this autumn. @tanialt.bsky.social and @captaink77.bsky.social share some thoughts www.specialneedsjungle.com/p...

So close to a debate on Parliament. Please sign to retain the legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

NEW POST: Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson tells parents their #disabled children’s “current” rights won’t be removed. But council proxies keep pushing to trash SEND legal entitlements. @tanialt.bsky.social and team have a few words www.specialneedsjungle.com/e... #disabled#SENDsky #EHCP

A new study shows ADHD is not be coming more common, but that greater awareness and acceptance are likely to be encouraging more people to seek help. This is undoubtedly the same for autism. www.bbc.com/news/article...

On SNJ Today: What we think of the Government's response to our Save #SEND Legal Rights Petition that misses the point entirely. @rachel.stopsafetyvalve.uk explains our reaction and why we still need you to get the #petition over the 100k finish line! www.specialneedsjungle.com/g...

This role is too important to be an add on, SENCOs should be included in senior leadership and SEND funding should be ringfenced!
