VODG and many of our members were early signatories to this letter to the Chancellor following #Budget2024. This response is extremely disappointing given the breadth of concern and the significant impact we know the increases in NICs will have on frontline care and support.

Despite more money #send outcomes are no better says ⁦@NAOorguk⁩ - noting that EHCPs are up and also there’s been a 35% decrease on he amount spent per child

Reasonable adjustments are in no way an immediate pathway into economic privilege, but a legal right to make sure autistic people can participate in work, education and live a dignified life. 4/4

Politicians need to stop looking to the autistic community as a political football and instead recognise the difficulties and challenges that so many autistic people face in their daily lives. 2/4

Kemi Badenoch’s comments and the statements in the ‘Conservatism in Crisis’ document are not only offensive to autistic people but detached from reality and demonstrate a fundamental lack of understanding of autism and disability: https://t.co/1qVU6PQiva 1/4

Right then. I think we've reached a watershed point in the waging of culture wars, and Conservatives ought to see it, and act on it. I wrote this today: What kind of person would drag autistic children into the culture wars? The Kemi Badenoch kind https://t.co/HRZJP2xw8c

@johnharris1969 @jemgilbert As parent to 2 autistic kids, one of whom cannot even access school, & the other who, after a 2 year absence, can now access (only) a highly specialised place, both of whom were failed & traumatised by mainstream education, this is utterly despicable. Badenoch’s a hateful woman!

Here's K.Badenoch, who thinks an autism diagnosis entails "economic advantages and protections". She also queries providing school transport for autistic kids & has no idea what neurodiversity/divergence are, and why they have abs nothing to do with, say, anxiety. Pls retweet

Today's Covid Inquiry says the pandemic would have been significantly worse if it wasn't for the "individual efforts and dedication" of carers. But 4 years on, how have they been rewarded? Minimum wage, forcing many out of the industry, while sectoral reform remains on hold.

@SalfordCVS Jan is truly amazing, thank you for the highlight! We couldn't provide the live-changing care we do without our dedicated team of volunteers. Huge thank you everyone!

Hundreds of vulnerable children sent to illegal and unregulated care homes - important work from our friends @TogetherTrust highlighting this very concerning, growing problem. Absolutely shameful how we treat our most vulnerable children

The @observer has found councils placed 706 children (mostly aged under 16) in homes not registered with Ofsted in 2022-23. Ofsted didn't prosecute any providers in 22-23 despite it being an offence to operate a children's homes without Ofsted registration

@TheNationalStar and @TogetherTrust want to know how young people with disabilities feel about leaving school or college. 🌟 Are you a young person with a disability, including autism or ADHD? OR Have you helped your child prepare to leave school or college? How did it go? (1/2)
