Council officer misconduct on SEND revealed

“Senior council managers encouraged colleagues to make it difficult for families to access special needs support and laughed about denying help to children with SEND.” ITV has broadcast shocking footage of council officer misconduct on SEND. I believe this should be investigated whether it constitutes criminal misconduct in public office. This corroborates some of over 1200 family testimonies that I have received related to council misconduct across 134 local authorities. It is staggering that the government is seeking to reduce children’s legal SEND rights in favour of local authorities in the face of industrial levels of misconduct. We potentially have an epidemic of avoidable child suicide because local authorities are knowingly breaking the law and denying families support.
