Background
On 23/02/26 the government published its schools white paper.
We have significant concerns about children losing EHCP's, children being forced into mainstream environments, parents and families losing legal protections around support of their child and families losing the right to choose which school their child can attend. We also have concerns about these children being reassessed and forced into environments that cause harm
We demand a full reconsultation that listens to families properly
