Absolutely this. Education professionals have been ringing the alarm bells on this for the past five years or more. Regrettably their calls were dismissed as scaremongering by previous Government Ministers. @NAHTBirmingham
Some brilliant people work in SEND but the system is broken. I'm glad that the SEND Minister agreed to meet with me and south Birmingham families to hear the frustration directly. There are too many unacceptable experiences and we need to turn that into lasting change.
