How does one flag dodgy send mediation companies who make people wait weeks for an advice call, let the LA send non decision makers to mediation and don't issue certs within timeframes specified in legislation?

I'm sure the near impossibility of accessing mental health treatment in the UK now is in no way linked to people being unable to work due to poor mental health. Perish the thought.

@warwickmansell £530k for one academy CEO. EHCPs “too expensive”. SEND support “not possible”. Procurement rules bent. Oversight deemed “adequate”. This is what centralisation without accountability looks like.

https://t.co/ovtrszTsBL this is shocking, that money is not for the management to take, is closed off that, it needs to be used to do adjustments for each individual child!! This is fraud in my view.

@brownejacobson Amazed at the lack of horror when we report LAs lose 99% of cases, two years running (98% before). Each case is a year of hell, only to defend a decision that is wrong. Where is the horror? This indicates a scandal nothing less, lives ruined, education denied, on purpose.

It's more than three times the cost of running libraries

One day of rain and roads everywhere in Suffolk are flooded again. Apparently storm Babet didn't teach @suffolkcc it's better to keep on top of ditch and drain maintenance. It's that pesky rocket science stuff getting on top of them again
