Roundtable on inclusion in education

[inappropriatelyemployed]

I haven't had time to post of late - things have been manic.

I just wanted to let you know that I am organising a roundtable conference on inclusion in education and the details are here.

We haven't set a date yet but it will be in the autumn.

Please let me know if you are interested.

How do we book a place? My child is in his second enforced independent school when all we want is a local mainstream school.

Wow! Quite an impressive list of organsations coming along.

What we really need is some county councillors. If we can get the people 'in charge' to want change too, then our grassroots efforts will start to have more effect. Even if they just want to cut down on their area's expensive, unnecesary legal cases and tribunals, that might be a reason to rein in the worst excesses of institutionalised lawbreaking.

I really struggle to see why councils are so against statementing. A proper, detailed support plan generally saves far more than it costs. Whereas (typical provision) eg a 'nice lady' with no clear agenda, adds nothing to the child's education and costs nearly 20/hour for 1-1.

And if they routinely detail part 3 provision costing (say) 5,995, they won't even pick up the bills, the schools will.
