Today two different investigations from Local Government Association and ITV News paint a bleak but clear picture of an education system that is failing children with special educational needs (SEND) – many of whom are autistic. It’s disgraceful that a third of parents have to pay huge legal fees to get the right provision for their children – up to £50,000, with some parents having no choice but to take out loans. This will inevitably have a disproportionate impact on families on a lower income. A new Local Government Association and County Councils Network report said the SEND system is at “breaking point” and the need for reform is “unavoidable”. We welcome the report’s call for the new Government to set out reform of the SEND system over the next 18 months. The SEND system is chronically underfunded and lacking the right support and understanding. Missing out on the education they need causes distress for autistic children and their families and does untold damage to their future. The Government must act now or autistic children will continue to be left behind. Read our full response to both reports on our website: bit.ly/3YhXnOY Have you experienced similar issues when trying to get the right support for your child?
