GOVERNMENT DITCHES SEND PUPILS

'We're all in this together' unless you are a child with special educational needs.A notice at the end of April told councils they would only need to show “reasonable endeavours” to fulfill their duty in pupils’ education, health and care plans (EHCPs) during May. The new powers also remove requirements to meet certain timescales around needs assessments, planning and review processes of plans until September 25. That means hitting the most vulnerable children - delaying them getting the support they need.

Now one brave teenager is challenging the government over this. It will directly affect her and she is now taking legal action against this temporary “relaxing” of the duty to our most vulnerable children.https://schoolsweek.co.uk/government-faces-legal-challenge-over-emergency-send-powers/
