We start by dismissing the lives of disabled people, regarding them of being of less value, excluding them from daily activities. We end by making quality of life judgements about older and disabled people to ‘save society the costs of looking after them’ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Word of the Week 23/3/2024 Appointments #WotW earlyrisingmum.wordpress.com/2024/03/23/wor…
This will not surprise anyone who knows the SEND system. We are not "warning" about a SEND crisis we are knee deep in a SEND crisis. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…
Is your child transferring from secondary school to a post-16 institution this year? Do they have an EHC plan? The deadline for local authorities to review and amend EHC plans for post-16 phase transfers is 31 March. Read our guidance on this here 👇 bit.ly/4cDH2Jc
The UN has challenged the UK government on why disabled people are the worst impacted by the cost of living crisis and painfully described the systemic barriers & discrimination that disabled people are facing, with evidence showing a regression of rights. bigissue.com/news/social-ju…
On SNJ Today: SNJ's Matt Keer has researched who asked for EHC Needs Assessments in recent years. His FOI of councils found, contrary to the "sharp-elbowed" parent trope, it’s mostly schools that apply—and are turned down less often: specialneedsjungle.com/ehc-needs-asse…
Pushy parents ‘not to blame’ as schools lead surge in bids for EHCPs (via @SchoolsWeek) schoolsweek.co.uk/pushy-parents-…
Yet more divisive comments and rhetoric about disabled people and the benefits system. Here the Telegraph’s front pages today focuses on a fresh assault on disability benefits. The government’s narrative is deliberately hostile and oppressive towards disabled people.
Word of the Week 16/3/2024 Pass codes #WotW earlyrisingmum.wordpress.com/2024/03/16/wor… via @earlyrisingmum
Every day we see more and more divisive comments and rhetoric about disabled people and the benefits system. It seems that all political parties are competing over a more hardline approach which will only serve to harm disabled people. Here is my blog. sense.org.uk/policy-blog/we…
Imagine working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, always on call never able to take a break. Family carers do this. Another great piece of journalism @Channel4News highlighting how families have to beg for a break for their disabled sons or daughters. Noone should fight for respite.

✉️ We’ve written an open letter to the Prime Minister. The role of Disability Minister is no longer a dedicated role, and has been downgraded and merged with the role of a more junior minister. The UK’s 16 million disabled people deserve better.
"Acquiesce" is a strange way of spelling "follow the law", @rcolvile. The SEND Tribunal is there to make sure lawful decisions are made, and the fact that it finds in favour of parents 98% of the times shows where the problem is. Stop blaming middle class parents.
As this by @Smyth_Chris says, there is a feeling within the sector that this rise in plans is at least in part about wealthier parents taking advantage of the system - with councils knowing that if they don't acquiesce, they will be sued and lose thetimes.co.uk/article/middle…
