700 in the que for Hyde park Bon jovi tickets, got to the front and nothing left 🤷♀️🤦♀️ @TicketmasterCS
@LloydsBank would have been handy to have been told my son’s application for a current account was on hold. Just assuming it’s going thro & told nothing isn’t helpful. Spoke to 20 different people to *finally* be told the issue is my son type his name in caps 🤷♀️ 🤷♀️

Isn’t it amazing that 90% of LAs can get SEND reform plans approved in one attempt to get millions of ££ while most can’t get an EHC needs assessment done in a legal time frame… “Handful of areas still to have Local SEND Plans approved by government”

It is not necessary to remove disabled children’s rights to improve the SEND system. Please listen to families. Over 80,000 people have signed the petition to protect #SEND legal rights.

I have received a parking charge notice from MET parking services after a recent visit to the birmingham airport car park 6 restaurant.
This for being 11 minutes over the allowed time. I visited the restaurant with my family and all six of us ordered food.

“If it’s this hard to enforce rights, what will it be like when you don’t have them”. Well put Madeleine! #SaveSENDLegalRights

If you can’t enforce an entitlement, it’s not an entitlement, it’s a privilege
‘The key issue is not only what happens with regard to what a child is entitled to, but also whether that entitlement can be enforced’: two @IPSEAcharity legal experts issue a warning about the government’s SEND plans

Once more for those at the back: It's NOT the SEND system, it's the maladministration of it and the lack of funding #SENDdebate @GregoryStafford @civicwatchblog @_Chris_Coghlan
Why do sendist (and LAs) keep saying doesn’t all have to be in B and F as the reports are in K? Last time I checked K wasn’t legally enforceable and who reads all attachments in K anyway? #ehcp
I know section A, E and strengths aren’t part of the jurisdiction of sendist but youd think updating those based on changes to B and F would make sense and would be reasonable to do so. Or no let’s just wait months for next annual review instead #ehcp
Send tribunal from an order around contents “…The plan should highlight individual trees, not a forest and we encourage the parties to work towards a workable and much shorter document.” - document in question was 14 pages long. That’s for a child with complex needs 🤔 #ehcp

Here’s an idea, in order to “best provide for a child’s complex needs” why not continue to give them their legal rights, which protects the individualised provision the individual child’s needs require, as set out in their legally protected EHCP. Wild suggestion I know.
“Parents need clarity, what counts as ‘complex needs’ and who decides…”
Watch as @bphillipsonMP gets to the bottom of your most frequently asked white paper questions.

We need to make as much noise as possible before the consultation closes on 18th May. Let's come together, let's make noise. Do not stay silent. Do not let your silence be the acceptance to these proposals.
Natasha Compton 💙 retweeted
This is the time to come together, to spread knowledge, to make sure people are not blindsided by the 'positive spin' that is being served to us about the proposed changes in the White Paper, and to understand what they 'really' mean for you as parents, professionals, and schools

SENCOs what are your thoughts about the SEND reforms? As a parent and OT I'm really concerned about them but curious to know what you think?
