SEND Warrior Mum making a difference! ( same as Twitter!)

Huge thanks to Gráinne from STV for covering this story and helping to raise awareness about the huge challenges ASN families are facing across education in Scotland.

Proud to work with @empoweredscotland.bsky.social to continue advocating and pushing for change on a national level.

Martha's rule rolled out to all acute hospitals in England Hundreds of patients have been helped by rule, which makes it easier to get an urgent second opinion.

Reminder 💥

I’d suggest that this is a frighteningly regular situation tbh… with private providers being largely free to do what the fuck they like…

DWP penalises universal credit claimant despite getting new job The DWP say sanctions incentivise people into work. Experts say they do the opposite – pushing vulnerable people deeper into crisis.

Talk about how to demotivate and crush people who are trying their best to get work!! 🤦‍♀️👇

What really makes me lol is the bit where he says ‘they’re coping’. Hmm maybe SEND kids deserve to thrive rather than just cope. Also he’s talking a load of 💩 either way. But that’s Reform for you … attack the most vulnerable so no one looks at what they’re doing.

The comments would be laughable if they weren’t so downright dangerous!

The leader of our council. ‘Schools getting extra money’- how is he in this position?

It’s our LA Tania, they’re the worst! What a 🔔end!

Dear God. Someone send him this: https://www.specialneedsjungle.com/10-false-claims-ehcps-facts/

Schools: 'What extra money? There is no more money. And the external agencies have evaporated, leaving us to support all needs without any extra staff or training.'

🙄 It's almost like he's talking out of his arse...

Derbyshire leader says special needs 'overdiagnosed' in schools Alan Graves says there should be a national debate on the issue but is criticised by parents.

WTA?🤬🤯😳👇

"I personally think there are too many people in the [SEND] system," Graves said.
"I think there are reasons for that and it's to do with schools getting extra money for dealing with that.
"Most people are just about on the spectrum but they're coping."

Many parents of children with ASN and disabilities fear the very services that are meant to provide healthcare, safety and support. This is Dickensian. It’s 2025 and so much abuse or worse continues to occur without much moral outrage? We are “ devalued” “ othered” and blamed. Tragic all round.
