I was just reading some comments on another thread about parent power www.mumsnet.com/Talk/special_needs/1085089-Iisad123-You-okay, but rather than hijacking I thought I would start a new one.
I was talking to a psychologist last week, who asked me why I don't try to get together with like minded parents, who want to expose the poor quality of SEN education, provision and dare I say it, the corruption which is regularly can be involved. Why don't I?
Now I tried to get a support/action group together about 18 months ago, but found people weren't really interested in getting political, increasing their knowledge re education and the SEN system. I understand this view, it is easier to not know/fight, accept what your told and don't question; especially if your contending with multiple issues at home.
So on here we have a number of well informed parents and professionals, including teachers. What if anything could we do to highlight the educational/health needs of our children in order to bring disability/SEN to wider public/political attention? Would you want to?
