Thank you for coming down, Munira. And for your important contribution to the debate. #FIghtForOrdinary @letuslearntoo @DCPcampaign @CutScenesUK
Great to meet with campaigners at the #FightForOrdinary rally ahead of the SEND debate later today. Families have waited too long for a system that works, the Government has to get this right.

📣 Parents & Carers — We need you to join us! ✊The Government is making BIG decisions about special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reforms — but where are the voices of the people most affected?

I would advise all MPs to read @jessiehewitson's ADHD How to Raise A Happy ADHD child which describes neurodivergence so well, and the Fight For Ordinary Report by the DCP: disabledchildrenspartnership…

The @DCPcampaign, chaired by Contact’s CEO Anna Bird, and @letuslearntoo will be hosting an event in Parliament on Monday 15th September 2025.
As part of the Fight For Ordinary campaign, we will be bringing MPs together with parent campaigners ahead of the publication of the Schools White Paper in Autumn 2025.
Later the same day, MPs will be debating a petition to “Retain legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND” that has received over 120,000 signatures. Our event will also be a chance to talk to MPs ahead of that debate.
Have your voice heard today and ask your MP to join us below 👇

It’s time to fix the SEND system. A whole generation of disabled children and those with additional needs are being let down by a broken education system

"Children with SEND want ordinary things – a place to learn safely, the opportunity to take part in after-school activities and the chance for parents to work to support their children, rather than having to put their working lives on hold." @annabirdfr dailymail.co.uk/news/article…

MPs are looking into the trouble disabled people, carers, & families have in getting vital equipment. They are asking for evidence. These surveys can go into the House of Commons library, so worth 5 minutes if, like us you've struggled. #SEND #disability surveymonkey.com/r/9Q3KFVR

It was great to attend the launch of #FightForOrdinary hosted by @DCPcampaign and @letuslearntoo this week.
I welcomed the chance to talk to children and families about educational support and look forward to seeing the needed long-term, fundamental reform of the SEND system.

“The Government hasn’t been engaging with us, now I want to make sure the young person’s voice keeps being heard because it’s our future.”👏
Proud to have supported this @DCPcampaign event, hearing from young people with Education, Health and Care Plans.

Wow! We’re overwhelmed by the response to our drop-in event with @letuslearntoo.
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to write to their MP – more than 60 constituencies were represented.
The Fight For Ordinary starts now.

Thank you to the many MPs and ministers who came to meet young disabled and neurodivergent children and siblings and parents today. Their stories must be at the heart of any reform. @DCPcampaign @letuslearntoo

I've written a piece for @thetimes on the back of my new book on ADHD. How most people don't know what it is (paging Matthew Parris & Andrew Tate). How I didn't understand it when my son was diagnosed, which led to me exploring why it's so misunderstood thetimes.com/life-style/pare…
SuttonEHCPCrisis retweeted
But mainly my book is about happiness, and how we can help ADHD children to be happy. It's a follow on from my autism book and has taken blood sweat and tears to write. It is finally coming out next Wed! (but you can preorder a copy now) 🙂🧠amazon.co.uk/ADHD-How-Raise-…

'Many have fought for three, four, five years to get that plan – and now they fear it will be removed. These parents have clear, recent memories of how their child was failed – they are extremely worried'
