Government Inquiry into support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) | 23 May 2018
22 May, 2018.
The Education Committee at the House of Commons is holding an inquiry into the Government’s policy on special educational needs.
This provides an opportunity for parents of children with M.E. to submit evidence relating to how they have managed to find suitable education provision.
For example, we have been hearing from several parents who have found it very difficult obtaining suitable provision for children who are 16-18 years of age, and other parents who have had problems getting suitable home tuition put in place.
While individual concerns will not be addressed by the committee’s inquiry, there are several points in the terms of reference (below) that may apply in the case of a child with M.E.
For example, assessment and support, roles of and cooperation between education, health and social care, and provision for 19-25 year old’s.
You can make a written submission on your own behalf, as an individual parent, or you might want to make a joint submission with other parents as part of a group.
The deadline for submission is Thursday, 14th June, so there is only three weeks remaining to contribute to this inquiry.
