Sky News raises awareness of our latest research “Fighting for your SEND child: the hidden costs”. Our results expose that a shocking 3 in 4 parents of SEND children have their working life affected, having to cut hours or give up work entirely.
This hidden cost is due to: weakness in the EHCP system, lack of specialist after-school & holiday care, increased demand on parents time at appointments and having to take children out of school when the school can’t cope.
Support SEND Kids trustee, Caroline Withers, in her interview with Sky, draws attention to local authorities holding back EHCP provision. The Support SEND Kids charity helps parents understand the law on SEN & Disability to help them achieve the education to which their child is entitled.
