Special Needs Education- a disgusting state of affairs!

This is what happens when accountability for education is removed from local authorities. In less than 20 years, the structures of local accountability have been dismantled in England and how are parents to cope with no support from the faceless bureaucracy of Westminster?

My DGC are all on the autism spectrum. They were all in school, but they were being failed. The school just didn't know how to teach them. Of the three of them, only GS 1 had any help, and that was only for 2 hours a week. My DD decided to take them out of school and is teaching then herself.

But it’s not only children with special needs, shocking though that is, in some areas parents are simply not allocated a place and are just told to home educate! I know because this happened to my granddaughter.

Indeed it is disgraceful. Parents are being fined for taking children out of school for a week's holiday, while four thousand children are receiving no education at all through lack of resources.
