Stop School Cuts

SEND support goes beyond the classroom: it’s about giving pupils a chance to succeed.

👇️

It’s simple: SEND provision needs to be fully funded.

❕ “We cannot allow another generation of young people to miss out on opportunities to learn, thrive and achieve.”

Reforms to the SEND system are desperately needed. But if these reforms are not fully-funded, they are doomed to fail.

But school cuts mean that support is at risk.

And that threatens the future of children across the country.
