10 false claims about EHCPs: Here are the facts
with help from Renata Watts, and all the Save Our Children’s Rights team Last week, Rachel wrote about a seemingly strategic campaign by local authorities to trash-talk EHCPs so the Government will move forward with reducing LAs’ statutory rights for children with SEND.

The law on SEND HAS NOT changed! But restricting EHCPs would be legally-sanctioned gatekeeping and a decimation of rights
with Kate Cox, Senior Solicitor, IPSEA Updated May 2026 Despite what many local authorities and schools are telling parents, the law on SEND has not changed. Proposals are just that: proposals. They can—and will—be changed. So we asked IPSEA, the SEND legal advice and training charity, to reassure parents, teachers and everyone else, about what…

“Why would anyone in government think that was an okay idea?” #SaveSENDLegalRights
with Eduardo Reyes, SEND parent, journalist, and #SaveSENDLegalRights London Protest MC As a person who’s much happier writing words down than saying them out loud, I was delighted that I didn’t have to wield a mic at Parliament Square on Saturday and was able to persuade my husband, Eduardo, to do it. Eduardo is a…
Don’t stop making noise: Sign to save SEND Legal Rights! Here’s 3 easy actions for this half term
Just because the consultation is over, it does not mean we can just sit back and wait to find out what Government AI will make of whatever your submitted.

The Unacceptable Truth: 20 SEND legal rights at risk from the Government’s SEND reforms
You may be feeling like the Department for Education has beaten you into submission this year with confusing consultation after consultation, claiming to be “listening” while analysing your responses with AI, and spending taxpayer cash on pointless “influencers” while looking to save money on your disabled child’s education. If you’re feeling like there’s nothing you…
