1/ If you're the parent of a SEND child/young person, you'll know how invaluable free independent information/advice/support can be. So here's a list of where to find some. Feel free to add!

This is shocking! Almost half of families with disabled children have run out of food in the past 12 months as well as 34% of families without disabled children. #Povertyisnotneglect. Take away our poverty NOT our children.

How does one access 'access to work', to actually be able to work, if 'access to work' takes months to assess your application?
Sadly, this really highlights a point I made on my tweets yesterday
I will be challenging the government on the agonising case of Eivie White and Local Authority misconduct on SEND leading to children’s deaths at PMQs today. independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…
1/ @suffolkcc claim SEND staff are scared of being named and shamed on social media. Which brings some questions...
6/ and ironically, we don't need to name and shame anyone. SCC are perfectly capable of shaming themselves. It's about the only thing they seem capable of doing well.
Handing out railcards with a 1/3 off for those aged 18-30, 60+, travelling in a pair, travelling as a family, ex forces is mad. Said no one ever.
Seems a bit discriminatory to pick on the disabled railcard offering the same discount...or maybe just shows how thick people are.
Handing out disabled rail cards and 30% discounts to people with mild mental health conditions is mad.
And to force doctors and health proesssionals into a gatekeeping role is worse still.
At a time when the Government should be reducing the welfare bill they are expanding benefit entitlements even further.
The Labour Party is the Welfare Party.

More venues & events are only accepting Nimbus access card as proof of disability.
We're calling on the government to stop this by forcing these events to accept government letters or official medical proof which you can get for free.
Please sign it!

"The only agreements that we (her siblings) were aware of was for my mother to give Bernadette £50 per week 'keep' and to ensure that Bernadette was not to be out of pocket. "
£50 a week, what an insult! I wonder what care the other siblings were providing.
