This video exposing the lived reality of disability-related non-attendance is hugely powerful. It is a must watch

Good god. This hits hard. Congratulations to the entire Unauthorised Absence team for getting this incredible, hard hitting, raw and unsettling film out there. EVERY teacher, school leader, governor, LA officer NEEDS to watch this. If you won't - why not? youtu.be/dn8C7WuGv8g?is=pBL7…

"LibDem MP @_Chris_Coghlan has urged ministers to rethink their special education needs (SEND) reforms amid claims they are ignoring “vast evidence of routine law breaking” by local authorities."

Anyone else in a constant cycle of tribunal, annual review strips it all again and back to tribunal? Or just me. Never ending cycle of battles. Get it out in, few months later battle to keep it in the plan

I have urged the government to rethink the SEND reforms because of vast evidence of routine law breaking by local authorities. I am working with Measure what Matters to collect testimonies from SEND families who have reported their council to the police for Misconduct in Public Office.

This was powerful from the Judge
“Whatever women wear, wherever they go, whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no—and demand justice from the courts when sexual predators like you, Russell Brand, act without their consent.”

@LloydsBank would have been handy to have been told my son’s application for a current account was on hold. Just assuming it’s going thro & told nothing isn’t helpful. Spoke to 20 different people to *finally* be told the issue is my son type his name in caps 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️

Isn’t it amazing that 90% of LAs can get SEND reform plans approved in one attempt to get millions of ££ while most can’t get an EHC needs assessment done in a legal time frame… “Handful of areas still to have Local SEND Plans approved by government”

I have received a parking charge notice from MET parking services after a recent visit to the birmingham airport car park 6 restaurant.
This for being 11 minutes over the allowed time. I visited the restaurant with my family and all six of us ordered food.

“If it’s this hard to enforce rights, what will it be like when you don’t have them”. Well put Madeleine! #SaveSENDLegalRights

If you can’t enforce an entitlement, it’s not an entitlement, it’s a privilege

Once more for those at the back: It's NOT the SEND system, it's the maladministration of it and the lack of funding #SENDdebate @GregoryStafford @civicwatchblog @_Chris_Coghlan
