Message to government: make the education system work for children & young people with SEND - but don't take away their legal rights to support. Our rights-based framework for disabled children is something we should be proud of, not a target for cuts.

Look at Labour’s cruel attitude towards disability benefits, then tell me Keir Starmer cares about 'human dignity' | John Harris
These proposed cuts will turn people’s lives into a nightmare. No wonder they are scared about where this all might lead, says Guardian columnist John Harris

Powerful testimony at the Education Select Committee this morning on why and how the system for supporting children & young people with SEND isn't working. I think this session may have shone more light on "why are there so many requests for EHC plans" than anyone has ever managed before.

I’ve never been a government adviser and probably never will, but I found this handy as someone who does work in public policy. Understanding this curious breed and their challenges helps anyone working with them. Recommended
