I going to have a rant now. Everyone needs awareness of individuals with Special Educational Needs Disabilities (SEND). What support was in place to help the individual return to work? The mother informed the police that "he's unarmed, he doesn't have anything, he just gets mad and he starts yelling and screaming," Which part of that statement did the police not understand. Instead they shot him. These similar events do not only happen in the USA but all over the world. It would be interesting to find out how much training police receive to deal with individuals with SEND. How much support are SEND individuals receiving in regards to their mental health and returning to schools and work environments? The rant is over for now

To be quite honest with you, I never thought of it from that perspective before, but you are right, they are not taking into consideration that the person might have a mental illness. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

What a well-balanced programme highlighting the horrendous issues faced by parents and families of SEND children. Many questions were raised. Why are they having to fight for education? One parent stated "With the right support there is no limit to what her daughter could achieve". EHCPs proved problematic as so many are inaccurate.
It was heart-breaking seeing the despair and mental
health issues faced by these parent and families. If you are a parents, carers or families who needs support please don't suffer in silence please contact me.

Special Educational Needs Disabilities (SEND) pupils should not be forgotten. This is very upsetting when we are faced with staggering figures stating 20,000 SEND children are unlikely to resume classes because of safety concerns.
How can this be.........? Support Support and more Support is needed for the parents/carers and schools. How can we prevent this figure rising to 40,000?

What are your views about the government investing in creating 35 special free schools for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) by September 2022? Is this a positive move or do your foresee concerns?
