Chris shares 653 testimonies of nationwide council mismanagement on SEND

Families across the country have shared 653 accounts exposing unlawful, harmful, or unethical behaviour by 117 local authorities.

Every major political party is represented among them — this is not about party politics, but about a system that is broken. Local accountability is being bypassed, and in places like Surrey, the truth has been buried. For over a year, the council concealed that it had the highest tribunal complaint rate in the country.

While councils face huge financial pressures around SEND, too often that pressure has translated into a culture of lying and treating children’s suffering as just another “problem to manage.” The result is a system that has become dishonest and brutalised.

If we reduce their SEND rights and throw our children to local authorities we cannot trust, we throw away their lives.
