No child should be left behind. See some of our key committments for specialist education 💚👩‍🏫 #GreenParty
A poster of Specialist Education: Led by parents and experts.
Image features colourful puzzle pieces at the bottom.Text reads: 

Every child deserves an education that sees them, supports them, and helps them thrive - for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), that promise is too often broken.
The Green Party's plan starts with families and experts leading the way. Instead of top-down decisions, education strategies would be co-produced and designed by those who know what works.
To make this vision real, we want to see billions spent on better SEND provisions. That means more specialist staff, better early intervention, improving diagnosis pathways, inclusive classrooms, and practical support. By believing families and councils working cooperatively, we can ensure no child is left waiting for the help they need.
The pressure to “perform” would be lifted too. High-stakes testing like SATs would be scrapped, replaced with continuous assessment that reflects real progress. Ofsted needs to be replaced by a supportive system focused on improvement, not punishment.
And because mental health is foundational to learning, every school would have access to a qualified counsellor.
This is more than policy. It’s a commitment to inclusion, compassion, and practical support. It’s a system that works for every child, not just the ones who fit the mould.

We tentatively welcome the mansion tax as a first step to address the growing wealth inequality, but this measure only serves to expose the gap created by a flawed and outdated council tax system.

Labour’s proposed immigration reforms mark a deeply concerning shift in tone and policy. At a time when our communities need leadership rooted in compassion and evidence, this approach risks fuelling division and undermining the rights of some of the most vulnerable people in society.

We should hold all politicians to account - keeping councils transparent and fair, is our priority here.
A green party poster with the text: Cleaning Up Local PoliticsA green party poster with the text: 
The Government’s announcement of new powers for local councils marks a turning point in the fight to uphold integrity in public office. Standards Committees have faced a rising complaints without the tools to enforce meaningful consequences. These reforms finally give councils the authority to act.
“Standards Committee continues to receive a high number of complaints, while the vast majority conduct themselves properly, there are a few councillors who really don’t” said Cllr Sara Armstrong. 
Some cases remain unresolved because certain councillors, despite being found to have breached the code of conduct, refuse to comply with sanctions.”

Councils will be empowered to:
- Suspend councillors / mayors for serious misconduct
- Withhold allowances where behaviour falls short
- Apply a single mandatory code of conduct
- Use a national appeals process for fairness
