NEW POST: Yet another new report muses reducing the educational rights of disabled children. In dispassionate tones, the Institute for Fiscal Studies treats SEND learners like widgets instead of vulnerable children. Here's what we think… www.specialneedsjung...{SOCIAL_NETWORK}&utm_medium=ZM

IPSEA point to a system "riddled with unlawful decision-making, with no negative consequences for local decision-makers – only for children and young people with SEND"
They want leaders to have a proper go at implementing 2014 reforms first

The charity Contact, from parent survey: "The current SEN system is not fit for purpose. It lacks accountability mechanisms to ensure that SEND law is implemented, it is lacking in resources & specialist workforce & mistrust prevails between parents & LAs"

![Safety Valve Agreements must end
There is growing evidence that meeting the conditions of these agreements entails setting limits on the amount of support that is provided to individual children and young people. Safety Valves place cost cutting above SEN Provision and children’s legal rights to support in education. This can be seen from information contained in local safety valve monitoring reports and schools Forum minutes. This has been highlighted in a report published by IPSEA earlier this year.[2] For this reason it is imperative that Safety Valve Agreements in their current form end. Contact has also heard from many parents who have said that Safety Valve agreements have had a negative impact on their child’s SEN provision and therefore a change in this policy will do much to restore parental confidence in the system.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4vbkxai2uzkroguq2apazkfb/bafkreiee7n7yar4mroop6l4hafmnal75bpz36iikz4c54u4jay6x454a2q@jpeg)
