We want the next government to take 6 urgent actions in its first 100 days to remove barriers and build a better SEND system. #NASSManifesto2024 Here's action 1 👇
🧵 (1/7) A group of MPs in Parliament held a debate in Westminster Hall this week on the important topic of Carer’s Allowance A huge number of unpaid carers live in poverty and urgently need Carer’s Allowance to be reformed
The Govt's response isn't good enough. The number of carers falling foul of the DWP system when all they are trying to do is care for loved ones shows it's the DWP system at fault, not carers. The Govt needs to start listening to carers and overhaul #CarersAllowance completely.
Lib Dem deputy leader Daisy Cooper says unpaid carers are sharing stories of fines for "minor infringements" on allowance earning rules The deputy PM says if there have been overpayments "it is right on behalf of the taxpayer to recuperate those" #PMQs bbc.in/3U5tu0k
Today we launch Removing Barriers – our manifesto for special schools. We're calling on the next government to take 6 urgent actions in its first 100 days to remove barriers and build a better SEND system. nasschools.org.uk/manifesto2024/ #NASSManifesto2024 youtu.be/ykUvgyhxCKs
