Hundreds of thousands Children with special needs There is a danger of losing their legal rights to support in schools, as the government refused to scrap the major documents, which family experts trust to guarantee support.
Education, Health and Care Schemes (EHCPS) are statutory documents that underline the support required for help Children With special needs and Handicap Get major life results.
But speaking to The Guardian, the school’s standard minister Catherine McKinnel refused to completely narrow or replace the EHCP as they confirmed that the authorities had developed a new system Send support.
Campaigners have warned such a step that thousands of students can be excluded from mainstream education, accusing the government of “attacking people with disabilities”, which are in view of welfare welfare deductions, which are expected to be affected as 800,000 disabled people.
Asked whether the ministers will scrap or ban EHCPS, Ms. McNenell said: “No decision has been taken yet how we distribute … The changes we want to see is better support for children as soon as possible.
He said: “Parents have a real fight to get support that should be usually available in school.”
The issue was pressed on the issue, Mrs. McNenell replied: “I think parents would agree that if we had a well-working system, if we had this good support, you would not need a complex legal process to reach an education.
“Even when the families secure an EHCP, it does not necessarily distribute the education that has been identified … we are listening to the parents. We are working on a new system. It is not yet decided.”
Such change will provoke the important backlash from campaigners and parents, because without EHCP, there is no legal obligation to meet the specific needs of the child in the schools in England.
Ms. McKinell’s comment came after a report by the National Audit Office published last year, warning that the EHCP number had increased by 140 percent since 2015.
Earlier this month, Dame Christine Leinen, the strategic advisory department of education on Send admitted that the government is seeing whether EHCP is “right vehicles” for special educational support.
Reacting to the comments of Ms. McKinnel, KT Ghosh, president of the children’s partnership, said that Guardian: “Hundreds of thousands of children rely on these plans to go to school and learn. It will represent a fundamental break with four decades of political consent that disabled children need legal guarantee to reach education.
“Without this, the government took the risk of sending more children from school and to a system where their needs are not met.”
Tania Tirro, co-director of the forest with special needs, warned that the preacher would not accept the removal of the rights of children with disabilities without any fight “,” accusing the labor of the labor of all ages with labor.
This comes amidst increasing rejection on the government’s controversial decision to restrict personal freedom payments for approximately 800,000 people, a significant advantage that helps pay for additional costs of living with disabilities as a comprehensive program of welfare deduction.
There is deep concern over the impact of proposed changes from both labor MPs and ministers 150 backbenchers raase the proposals to rebel.
Talking about EHCPS, Ms. Tirroro said: “This is not about the improvement in the provision-it is about saving money. If EHCPS is taken out of mainstream settings, early years and 16–25-year children, security will also be lost outside special schools.
A department of a spokesperson of education said: “Evidence is clear that this government has inherited a system left on its knees – many children do not meet their needs and are forced to fight for parents to support.
“This government is actively working with parents and experts on solutions, including more preliminary intervention to grow more specialist spaces in mainstream schools and to prevent the needs of £ 740 million.
“Whatever changes we make will improve support for children and parents, prevent parents from fighting for support, and will currently protect the provision. As part of our plan for change, we will restore the trust of the families above and below the country and distribute the reforms that they are crying so that every child can achieve and thrive.”
