Cut the bureaucracy that causes delays to vulnerable children receiving education and hold Local Authorities to account for their actions.
More details
Thousands of statemented children are having gaps within their education because of Local Authority delaying tactics. Additionally, they are using public funding to support their poor decision making. Local Authorities must be held to account , otherwise their is no incentive to change.
The current system enables them to use public money unwisely and not for the purpose for which it was intended.
