Why?

senachieve

Every week parents tell me of statements which have been made to them by certain local authority and in some cases school staff which conflict with the law. I also see such statements made by certain staff myself within emails, or hear them being stated directly within meetings.


The question is why. Why does this happen? Why does it keep on happening?


I think about this daily, and, logically, there can only be two possible explanations. One, the staff concerned know that what they are saying is not true. Or two, the staff concerned actually believe that what they are saying is fact. Though the latter is obviously better than the former, this is totally unacceptable. As I have always said, in my view there needs to be far greater training around SEN and general education law for all staff who work with or for children in any capacity. There also needs to be quick and easily accessible routes of accountability; not only do these things happen, but they seem to happen repeatedly.


This year I will again do my best to bring about change. Best wishes to you all, Chris.
