No change since we were campaigning, hope you have more resolution with @sgloscouncil SEND.
I've just threatened @sgloscouncil with a Judicial Review. Do your job properly or go home. I used to be such a nice person before Send circa 2016 and now it's one chance and that's it.

Help us find out if your disabled child or young person has any, some, or all of their SEND provision back (or if it’s ever been in place!) Please take SNJ’s autumn SEND survey: bit.ly/autumn-send. #fixSEND

We're hearing quite a lot about online tribunal hearings that are ineffective due to technology problems. Is that other people's experience?

We have recently updated its information on school re-opening to emphasise that it is no longer possible for a school to refuse to admit a pupil as a result of a risk assessment. The only legal basis on which a school may prevent a child attending is a formal exclusion
Has your child/YP school said no to provisions in an ehcp or no annual reviews? Please let us know via comment or DM. You may find Ipsea website a helpful resource.

Wow - if you care for a child with additional needs please read this. It's not self-care that will solve the issues of things like exhaustion and isolation, it is for society to care that is really essential.

No surprise for many many families... have you been offered money to move county or any other odd meditation issues? Please reply or DM.
The #EHCP process is a minefield. We’ve been told by 2 independent experts that our son’s plan is vague & not worth the paper it’s written on. It can be hard for parents to understand the language in them. There needs to be more advice & support on this. #SEND #BBCPanorama

Told by LA that they are only doing s17 social care assessments for kids with ASD - not for kids with ADHD. Surely ALL disabled kids are eligible?!
Duty to assess under the 2014 Act is mandatory if the person ‘may’ have a need for care and / or support. sections 19, 21 and 24
A toolkit for returning to school if your child is going back this week it maybe useful:
Worried about the schools starting back?
You're not alone. We've talked to parents, carers, children, young people and teachers and you all have similar concerns and worries.
We hope our #BacktoSchool Toolkit can help.

Trump playing a half empty arena (6k people) after claiming they’d had a million ticket requests is funny and everything but this…this is horrendous.

Some children have returned to school some at home. Please tell Special Needs Jungle your child/young persons experience of education, health & social care during the covid19 crisis. Working with Send Community Alliance will present this to government to ask for accountability
Have you taken our quick SNJ Survey yet? Tell us about your disabled child’s education during Coronavirus. ow.ly/vjOB30qOFuN
This is why we don’t see any real chance of change for SEND in SGlos. Conservative MP Luke Hall described by Simon Hattenstone:
After all the promises of dealing with long-term street homelessness post-pandemic, this emerges from homelessness minister Luke Hall. Alarming, ignorant, pathetic and dangerous

So important to reinstate children’s rights especially if returning to school. Please sign and share
Sign the Petition · Secretary of State for Education: Reinstate our Children's rights to education and health provision from 1st June 2020 · Change.org ow.ly/W2VN30qKixX
Dissolution of rights during the pandemic, question is what will the ‘new normal’ look like for SEND? Will children’s right to equality feature in plans if they are not able to follow rules of social distance?
