Families across the country have shared 1253 accounts exposing unlawful, harmful, or unethical behaviour by 134 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.
