SEND COMMUNITY ALLIANCE: JOIN US TO HELP #FIXSEND

There is a crisis in SEND, of this there is no doubt. SEND Community Alliance
has been formed to try to ensure that those tasked with fixing it hold the
perspectives of families at the centre of everything they do.

Up until now, those who have the power to change things for the better have done
everything but that.

Local authorities fret about sky-high rates of appeals to the SEND tribunal –
that they almost always lose – while politicians scratch their heads over why
costs for SEND are increasing.

The pandemic has widened the schisms that already existed.

Meanwhile, families are the ones at the sharp end, yet with little to no power.

They are busy caring and advocating for their disabled children and young
people, the ones who are being continually failed by a SEND system whose reforms
were supposed to put them at the heart of the process.

Parents and young people have been locked out of meaningful decision-making for
too long.

Co-production is largely a joke that’s long ceased to be funny. Consultations by
councils end with views being disregarded. Their policies and daily
decision-making are often unlawful.

Many schools fail to read or apply guidance and legislation. They fail to
involve parents of disabled children where the law clearly says they must. But
this is not the wild west – the Children and Families Act is not optional.
Adhering to its tenets needs to become a reality – an everyday happening and a
partnership at every level.

The four of us, Special Needs Jungle, SEND National Crisis, SEND Action and our
newest member, SOS!SEN, are campaigning to #FixSEND. If you want the same things
we do, please join us. Whether you’re an individual, a community group or local
charity, a SEND practitioner, or a commercial company dedicated to helping
children with SEND, you are welcome to join us as members of affiliated
organisations.
