And this is why blanket policies dont work. Will we all need to start carrying our birth certificates?? But of course, they can be changed too - maybe the only way to be sure is to all wear trousers with little ‘genital windows’ so we can be checked on demand 🤦🏻♀️ www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

English councils spending twice as much on Send pupil transport as fixing roads
Exclusive: Costs particularly acute in more rural areas, where many children with special needs have to use taxis

Good that the SEND crisis might be finally acknowledged- however, as the need for EHCPs has increased 140% in the last 10 yrs, perhaps we need to look at the WHOLE education system rather than just SEND? We need inclusive classrooms and early interventions now. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
Ministers plan major changes to Send education in England

What is this Labour government about? What do they stand for?
“Anything that negatively affects growth will not be approved, the Treasury has told departments.”
Who cares about growth? People want health, opportunity and safety - Labour have lost the plot

Forgot what it was like to wake up each morning to a new batshit headline, each getting progressively worse.
Now I recall. It’s kinda like a second pregnancy. You remember labour was painful, but only truely remember how bad it was once it starts.
And we’re only 1cm dilated.

Not one word a surprise here - special educational needs provision in England is in a woeful state. Took a year to get an appropriate place for my daughter - and we’re one of the lucky ones. There is no postcode lottery - up and down the country its just terrible www.theguardian.com/education/20...

My local GP surgery had no appointments last week and I’ve just been notified no appointments this week either. People delaying routine care will only contribute to future waiting lists. Frightening and very sad.
