No one from @DevonCC would come out to receive our Call for Change document from our young person rep, so he had to go into the council officers to hand it in.

Thank you @JulianBrazilDC for pointing out that we wouldn't need to be there today if Devon County Council were not failing us and our children and young people.

Devon is getting worse at meeting the statutory timescale for EHCPs. Only 5% completed on time in May. Requests for a needs assessment is more likely to be refused, compared to national average. #SEND

Four of our parents spoke at the DCC Children’s Scrutiny Committee yesterday to give evidence that our failing Local Authority isn't getting better, but worse! @BBCNews @DevonCC bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

As a SEND parent first and a teacher second I am utterly horrified by some of the attitudes expressed towards SEND pupils by teachers on twitter over the last few days. Is it any wonder that SEND pupils make up a significant proportion of school absence and refusal figures…

The problems in #SEND were there a LONG time before COVID. Families with children approaching adulthood have fought the entire time.

Let’s flip the narrative. Covid was straw that broke camels’ backs. Thousands were barely coping in sch pre-pandemic. Many unnoticed, ignored, grades may be ok but silently sliding. Parents could sense it, were watching it happen for years. theguardian.com/society/2023/m…

Lost childhoods, lost education, parents forced to give up work, CYP potential unfulfilled, the impact this has on individual families, and the wider economic and financial consequences of not getting the right support, in the right place, at the right time. #SENDInTheSpecialists

Today @GeraintDaviesMP is leading a debate on #SEND. The debate will seek answers from the Government on how it proposes to better plan and invest in the specialist workforce so children and young people with SEND or in AP will have their needs identified and supported.
