Review ways for children with ECHPs to go to mainstream schools and colleges

Mainstream schools and colleges often hesitate to accept a child with an EHCP. We want these schools to actually give these children a chance because it can be really hard to get into education with an ECHP. They can lose time waiting to be put into a school or college.

Background
No one should have to go through this experience. It can be very depressing and children can feel like no one wants them. Special schools aren't always the best for children. Many can do better in a mainstream setting.
