@ellenbroome.bsky.social, Chief Executive of the British Dyslexia Association, highlighted the inequalities in diagnosis, with 90% of children in households earning over £100k receiving a diagnosis compared to 43% of those in households earning £40k.
United Learning's Director of SEND, Sarah Horn, shared her reflections on the white paper, praising the encouraging focus on inclusion, but raising questions on the implementation of Individual Support Plans and the transparency of SEND funding.
@charleyo.bsky.social began by sharing key findings from the Sutton Trust's 'Double Disadvantage?' report, which found that children from low socio-economic backgrounds are more likely to be represented among the SEND cohort, but less likely to be able to access adequate support.
This morning, the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Social Mobility is discussing SEND and socio-economic disadvantage, in the wake of the Schools White Paper.
Chair @peter4bracknell.bsky.social is joined by @charleyo.bsky.social, @ellenbroome.bsky.social, and Sarah Horn.

I loved music lessons at school 🎷
