Go! Yorkshire man. Common sense is not uncommon up-north. This gentleman now speaks out on Gaza and the so-called war, which we all know has nothing to do with war - massive breaking of all laws and committing heinous crimes.

This is all so true, culture change is needed and a whole new approach to education to bring out the many and varied talents of our SEND students.

Really good to hear that there is an understanding of what's going wrong - especially with special needs children that can't function within a school structured system. I hope something good comes of this. Well done to all that became involved.

Thanks so much for doing this podcast i found it really interesting and very useful for supporting parents of those with Prader-Willi syndrome. I have shared it across our social media as well.

If those that are fighting can't get any where bybconscentrating on those who don't. Your going to increase failing more.

We also need jobcentres to be more understanding and not sanction disabled job searchers.

The child premium doesn't get spent on that child. It get spread across group activities including non send kids.

What's the deadline for all this to happen. My boy is yr5. I fear he will be 18 before we see a change.

I feel my sons school will only involve Ed phsycologist if the child can't be in the normal school classroom. And if your in the classroom you get forgotten.

You can only go to tribunal if you can afford it. Those who can't get left on the rubbish pile.

Support for moving into adult hood only applies to ehcp kids. Are we gonna fail those refused an ehcp. I despair

Holistic person should be the senco

Not every teacher is a teacher of send they fumble through.

My son is in Yr 5. Refused ehcp and struggling. I fear what high school will be like.

It shouldn't be the sencos choice if an ehcp is needed or school can access Ed phsycologist.

Senco need to be qualified in send. And training in send for all teachers.

But these schools are not up to the job. They refuse ehcp. They refuse Ed phsycologist until 4 years behind in work.

Great video, but it would be even better with captions!

Ok

Excellent ladies. Considering education through a intersectionality lens is vital. In 2020 it is rarely done. Disability and race occurs simultaneously. Black disabled children are being failed and constantly pathologised as a deficit by professionals. Who have not been impacted by intersectional discrimination such as race and disability. If you look back through history you will see that in fact the system Black disabled children are being educated in wasn't designed with then in consideration. Instead of changing the system to make teaching diverse and an inclusive environment. It was easier for the broken discriminatory system to apply a label on a child as having behaviour difficulties. Which is so wrong.

Around minute 24 - 25 Christine asks about instances where a parent finds themselves dealing with a S47 investigation because they are being 'difficult'. The cases I know of are where MASH referrals are repeatedly made or threatened by school. There is only so much scrutiny that a parent fighting the system for their disabled child can take. They therefore stop fighting because they can not deal with yet another protracted period of investigation. It's bad enough when you have a sensible social worker leading the triage and investigation. It's downright horrible when you have a social worker who needs more training. In those cases, you are guilty just because the school or LA have accused you, not because you have done anything wrong and certainly not because there is evidence apart from the school/LA's word.

Thank you!

Co production with parents and carers

APPEAL IT

Should we still be putting in complaints for failure to send out draft /final EHCP on time or is it a total waste of time now?

write to you mps everyone

This bill is extremely concerning for those of us who are parents of children with SEN, and even more so for parents of adults who require care. I am going to write to our MP with my thoughts, and wonder what campaigning we might all get involved in to prevent the removal of absolute rights.

All beautiful in theory, if you work in a school you will realize that it goes in the bin, once flexibility is given, EHCP just as a disguise for pocket money on tiny bits of intervention but no inclusion, pity really
