This has worked so 'well', the government is trying to propagate it down the education pyramid in the CWS Bill, by preventing disabled pupils from appealing school placements to SENDIST.
In 2023-4, pupils/families won 99% of such appeals.

The government’s SEND reforms look good from the outside but dig deeper and they are taking children & families legal rights away. I’m pleased to see the NEU supports the #saveourchildrensrights campaign. Hope this gets a mention! 💚

image shows An image that shows people in smart suits, one of them a woman with blonde shoulder length hair and another with an auburn short bob—around a table looking like they're enjoying destroying a judicial scale and hammer and wig--a metaphor for destroying justice. Behind them is a picture window and on the outside of the window, looking through it, stand some parents in casual dress--like jeans and jumpers, holding children. They are looking horrified, sad, and upset at what they can see
On SNJ Today: The DfE's callous response to the #SEND consultation legal challenge shows it's all a sham—parents' views do not matter, and it's determined to kneecap the SEND Tribunal. For our children's sake, we MUST NOT accept it. #SaveOurChildrensRights www.specialneedsjungle.com/g...

I’m glad that national protests about these SEND ‘reforms’ are being organised.Though goodness knows these families have a hard enough time without having to take to the streets to defend their children’s rights.

SEND 2026: THE TRUTH— Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise 1. Nothing has changed. 2. EHCPs remain in force. 3. Legal duties remain in force. 4. Local authorities and schools cannot lawfully downgrade, remove, or refuse support because of proposals. 5. Legislative change won’t be happening this year or even next year, whatever anyone tries to tell you. 6. Children’s existing rights stand. #SaveOurChildrensRights
Save this: SEND 2026: THE TRUTH: Nothing’s changed 🔴 EHCPs, legal rights and duties remain in force 🔴 Proposals don’t mean LAs & schools cannot lawfully downgrade, remove, or refuse support 🔴 Legal change won’t be this, or even next year #SaveOurChildrensRights
