@[email protected] Children watch Newsround, as I recall. I'm FAR more impressed by Sir Ed addressing fellow #parents of #disabled #children about the need to oppose cuts to #SEND #education & preserve #EHCPs, than by any number of his stunts. I don't think the stunts are an effective means of communicating with the voters - they're off-putting, IMHO.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/16/children-send-education-health-care. If this wretched #Government scraps #EHCPs, it will be a total #disaster for #disabled & #specialneeds #children & their #parents - & yet more proof "Labour" doesn't give a damn about people of any age with any form of #disability. So - prove me wrong, #Labour, don't scrap EHCPs, & give #SEND #education the #financial boost it so desperately needs! I won't hold my breath.

Supporting kids with Send is expensive. But the cost of not doing so is far greater

Education, health and care plans have been invaluable for my children. Hints they could be scrapped fill me with fear, says TV presenter Carrie Grant

Barking & Dagenham offer "inconsistent experiences" for children with SEND say Ofsted/CQC inspectors (mid-level result). But should an LA's "ambitions" be worthy of note? We're "ambitious" for LAs to make legally compliant #EHCPs, but here we all are... https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50256050?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Zoho+Social&utm_content=BarkingDag
