Take this headline, this framing, and fire it into the fucking sun

Screenshot from the Guardian, stating “English councils spending twice as much on Send pupil transport as fixing roads”

Subheading “Costs particularly acute in more rural areas, where many children with special needs have to use taxis”

There’s a lot of tokenism in lived experience participation. Whether it’s requests for unpaid keynotes “for the exposure!”, or politicians stopping by for a photo opp before disappearing, much needs to change. Pleased to be 1 of 15 care experienced people to contribute to this paper. Open access 👇🏼
