More venues & events are only accepting Nimbus access card as proof of disability.
We're calling on the government to stop this by forcing these events to accept government letters or official medical proof which you can get for free.
Please sign it!

"The only agreements that we (her siblings) were aware of was for my mother to give Bernadette £50 per week 'keep' and to ensure that Bernadette was not to be out of pocket. "
£50 a week, what an insult! I wonder what care the other siblings were providing.

More on Clr Hadwin's revelations about the SEND system. Plenty of support staff, SalTs, OTs, ASD specialists and reasonable adjustments all available without the need for an EHCP. "social media" is to blame. youtube.com/live/LmThxLn34hc…

Nimbus Disability’s Trustpilot currently sits at 1.3/5, with 98% 1-star reviews. One reviewer says: “After waiting 14 days for a reply the tickets had of course gone.” This is why making #Nimbus a compulsory gateway deserves serious challenge #disability

'Why should your disabled teens get extra money? Mine don't have grandparents to spoil them and the government doesn't give us extra money'

So according to commentators, disabled people shouldn’t get PIP, Motorbility and now Access to Work? But then they are castigated for not getting or staying in paid employment ? They are damned either way

Maybe, just maybe the shortened breaks and over emphasis on academic exams might be leaving kids much less able to tolerate the school day.
“I’ve been teaching 25 years and low-level behaviour is so much worse than before - part of the problem is, if you address that behaviour, you get a reaction from the parent we never used to get”
Is gentle parenting to blame? @jasminenorden finds out.

'Disabled people's rights are under threat'. says actor Ruth Madeley.
Madeley stars in Being Heumann, a new film telling the story of disability rights activist Judy Heumann, who led more than 100 young people in a landmark protest at San Francisco’s Federal Building, demanding equal rights for disabled people.

Why are people who have reported on the crisis in SEND shocked by the number of young people not in education work or training??? Do journalists not join the dots? Zero mental health therapies so where do people think the help was coming from?
Oh apparently we are allowed to contact Cllrs, it's just the cc-ing causes extra admin work. Yet the extra admin we have to do emailing, then escalating to managers and then complaining, just to get a reply! is irrelevant. Obviously our time isn't as important as theirs.
Guess @sudfolkcc didn't like the previous news story pointing out their continuing SEND failures
