🚨 SEND children need better support, not fewer legal rights. EHCPs provide vital legal protections. Government proposals could restrict them to children with “complex needs”, leaving others reliant on school support plans. Reform SEND — don’t remove rights. #SEND #Equality

Neurodivergent children and young people face multiple disabling barriers to access appropriate support. Dietary needs is just one area that blanket policies fall short of reducing inequality. One size fits all approach isn’t actually helping neurodivergent children and young people.
