It’s time to fix the SEND system. A whole generation of disabled children and those with additional needs are being let down by a broken education system. bit.ly/FightforOrdina… #FightForOrdinary

Very concerning. So many young people rely on EHCPs to get the specific support they need to thrive. Without an adequate replacement, this could isolate them from education entirely. #SEND theguardian.com/education/2025…

Very concerning. Without an improved or adequate replacement there would be a huge risk of isolating young people from education entirely. So many rely on EHCPs to get the specific and individual support they need to thrive. #SEND theguardian.com/education/2025…

Notified yesterday that our son’s therapy has to stop next wk. Sadly @JanetDaby this is no longer about ‘uncertainty & insecurity’. Therapies are stopping with no time to prepare. Also told that we can’t privately refer because of @Ofstednews rules. 😢 communitycare.co.uk/2025/03/20/ado…

Brilliant to be in Manchester today for our annual @WellChild Nurse meeting. Inspired by so much collective knowledge and experience in children’s complex medical care in the room. 💪

The government has announced £740m of funding to increase the number of places for pupils with SEND in mainstream schools in England. DCP Chair @annabirdfr appeared on @BBCWomansHour this morning to discuss the announcement. You can listen from 1:50 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

We need to fundamentally rethink education provision in this country and what we need to support the growing numbers of children and young people with #SEND needs. Suspending and expelling is not the answer! 😢 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is really getting critical now. There needs to be a serious blank sheet of paper moment around #SEND and how we as a society support our young people with additional needs to thrive! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… #AutumnBudget

Disabled young people from minority groups face more barriers when trying to access social care. As a result, they are suffering from higher levels of isolation and poorer mental health. Find out more from the new @DCPcampaign report #SupportNotSuspicion. bit.ly/DCPSNS
