Its already hard as fuck for parents to get approved for assistance and now the guardian is running headlines about how its SEND killing councils???? What a rag.
'Government concedes that [SEND] ... is on its knees' then do something???
Why are they blaming the needs of children and not the lack of appropriate funding being supplied???
Don't forget the Tories have had a neat strategy to hide the massive cuts to education.
SEND education is funded through local authorities, not direct from central gov. The Tories cut the local authority grants and capped council tax throughout their time in office, and thus, left councils with less money to spread out between SEND and the non mandatory services (library/ leisure) so now we're in this ridiculous state where councils will go bankrupt.
As long as this myth of non-neoliberal capitalism exists things will only get worse. And the pseudo left of reformers and pseudo-#socialists have a large responsibility in reproducing this myth.
