We are unaware of any evidence at all that backs up Richard Tice’s random assertion. Nor are we aware of Reform having a policy on special educational needs and disabilities. (1/3)

Hannah’s EHCP changed her life. Now she’s worried others will miss out. Following reports that EHCPs may be limited in new Government plans, Hannah is calling on Keir Starmer to stop this from happening. Join Hannah’s fight to save EHCPs. bit.ly/PMEHCP

With the closure of essential therapy providers like the @Bobath_Centre, families of children with movement disorders are facing a devastating crisis. Vital specialist services are vanishing due to chronic underfunding, leaving parents scrambling to find the support their children desperately need. 🔗 Full story: buff.ly/7cOVTA8 @C_Potential @DWPgovuk #CerebralPalsy #EarlyIntervention #Neurorehabilitation #DisabilitySupport #ChildHealth

This is Matilda, 2, who has cerebral palsy. She can't sit, crawl or walk BUT her Wizzybug has given her the independence she wanted. Her mum said: “Seeing her have the chance to splash in puddles, explore her environment and escape from us like any other toddler is so special."

Many incredible children we support are non-speaking but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a voice. Communication goes beyond words, whether through signs, gestures, expressions or assistive communication #nonspeakingawarenessday #nonverbalawarenessday

The DCP recently published a report, This Is My Life: Hear Me, Help Me. Just 1 in 5 disabled young people feel that they have the right amount of formal support to achieve the things that they want in life. Read the report: bit.ly/DCPHMHM #HearMeHelpMe

It’s not always obvious if someone is struggling with their mental health. Be kind - you never know what’s going on in someone’s life. And share this post to help us raise awareness 💙

It's #InternationalDayofHappiness AND the first day of Spring 🌻 Some things that make us happy about Spring: Daffodils. The birds waking up. Not getting soaked on dog walks. Lighter evenings. Now tell us yours. What makes you happy about Spring?

We’re urging @Jeremy_Hunt to extend the Household Support Fund beyond March, so that families facing hardship, hunger, and unexpected costs are able to get the help they need. Take action now: bit.ly/3wgu2Ix 📢 #SaveCrisisSupport
