Not just about money

senachieve



In my opinion it is hard to believe that, more than 10 years on since the current SEN-related legislation came into place, as a country we are still in a position in which so many parents and their children are let down. Life is challenging and stressful as it is, without the need to have to fight to get what a child is legally entitled to.


I agree, to a point, that funding is one of the underlying causes of the difficulties that so many parents and their children face. However, in my opinion, it is in no way the only reason, the reasons stretch far wider than this. Each and every day families contact me in despair and inform me of things they have been told by certain school and local authority staff which conflict with the law. Some of these things are shocking. I also increasingly see such things written in emails, and hear them said in meetings.


Will increasing the amount of money invested in the education system solve this?

I personally do not think so. Rapid and effective means for parents to report the actions of staff where necessary need to be introduced. People need to be held to account for their actions, rather than the same thing being said and done to the next family and then the next.

I hope things change soon.
