Hello

You might already know that the government has launched a consultation on 'Support and aspirations: A new approach for special educational needs and disability?'. If you're a parent or carer of a child or young person with a learning disability, Mencap would love to hear about your experiences of SEN support, and how the proposed changes may affect your lives. If you can spare five minutes, their online survey is here - your answers will help Mencap tell the government how to improve support for children and young people with a learning disability, as well as shaping their future work.

Hecate, I think I used at least half of those words in mine! Blush Took me ages to complete it as well. How can you explain the problems with a completely dysfunctional and unfit for purpose system in five minutes. Confused

Done. Scary proposals from the govt. NO - a voluntary organisation could not assess my dd's needs FGS.

Done, feel a bit sweaty now!

What would enable you to choose between the schools in your area?

If they were all fully inclusive and accessible.

Not holding my breath mind.
