Today's leaks about upcoming SEND reforms in England in the Times newspaper have made headlines. Full details will be laid out in a white paper next week, which we will cover in depth in a future episode. In this bonus episode we discuss the suggestion that the legal right to special needs support will be compulsorily reviewed when children move from primary to secondary school. Nuala hears views from Labour MP and SEND parent Jen Craft, actor Kellie Bright, plus parent campaigners Kirsti Hadley and Rachel Filmer.
