UK network of disabled children and young people, their families and allies working to uphold rights. #SaveOurChildrensRights
Joined September 2018
Removing disabled children’s rights and forcing them into units without any choice in order to save money is an appallingly regressive move. This is segregation, not inclusion. #SaveOurChildrensRights.

This is not just about existing EHCPs. It’s about the rights of all disabled children, now and in the future. #SaveOurChildrensRights.

“It seems likely that EHCPs will not survive in their current form, with existing plans phased out over two or more years.”.
Removing disabled children’s rights and forcing them into units without any choice in order to save money is an appallingly regressive move. This is segregation, not inclusion. #SaveOurChildrensRights.

The SEND system is not lose, lose, lose. It’s fail, fail, fail. And if we fail to address systemic structural failings any new system will fail too. Let’s change the narrative. #SaveOurChildrensRights.
@CMcKinnellMP @LGAcomms Isn’t it time that local authorities and government acknowledged their role in the failure to implement the SEND system properly? Failure to fund the extended age range, failure to commission adequate services locally, failure of scrutiny and accountability nationally.
