The White Paper - 23 February

I'd be interested in what everyone thinks of today's White Paper. While following all of the Online Community Rules, of course. Kissing heart

Thank you today for the NAS email. For those who aren't on the email list, here is a link to the Statement as of today.

Feeling very much for all of our young people and their families.

  • I think what I'm most concerned about is the logistics of the support. It looks pretty good, but currently we can't even get through 1 EHCP per child, how on earth will we manage 3?! 

    Also, the reason EHCPs are rising is because families aren't getting the required support without the legal obligation that the document supplies. The ISPs could help, I've seen great examples of effective in school support, but only if they are actually followed. If they're not, families will turn back to the legally obliged support EHCPs give, and we'll be in an even worse place than we were before.
