You are right. For these children to be successful in mainstream education there needs to be fundamental change in the way learning is provided in schools. This is a MASSIVE task. There is not a quick fix and it won’t be solved just by taxing those kids that access independent education #send
Short debate on SEND Provision: Autism/ADHD. But the Minister did not address the issues of children left without provision in her drive to shoehorn more SEND children in mainstream. Teaching children in corridors as they can’t cope in class is no answer. www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=...

I wrote about the way the SEND crisis is quietly unpicking women's lives - destroying careers, dismantling relationships, damaging physical and mental health.
And all this goes on unacknowledged.
