Disability Rights UK on SEND Reforms

🚨Our Policy and Campaigns Officer, Bethany Bale, spoke to The Big Issue about the Government’s Schools White Paper 🗣️“While we welcome the government’s aim to improve school inclusion and increase consistency across the country, we do not trust that these reforms are anything other than a cost-cutting exercise. The current issue with the SEND system isn’t the law; it’s a lack of accountability. The government has failed to ensure that current legislation is delivered, so it’s unclear how they plan to ensure new legislation will be. We encourage families to respond to the consultation and be assured that nothing has changed yet; these are proposals, and we will challenge them.” https://lnkd.in/e7PMkeJZ
