Hundreds of thousands of children with Send won't get top tier support plans'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"An estimated 270,000 fewer young people will be awarded education, health and care plans (EHCPs) by 2035, a drop of more than 40 per cent on current projections, as the government tackles a spiralling system it says is not working for children and parents and has led to multi-billion pound black holes in council budgets. At the same time as reserving ECHPs for the most complex cases, more children will be given support in school."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates the financials of Elon Musk’s pro-Trump PAC, and produced the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet asks for donations to fund reporters, emphasizes reporting without paywalls, and says quality journalism should be paid for by those who can afford it. Ministers will cut the number of children receiving the highest level of SEND support, with an estimated 270,000 fewer EHCPs by 2035, reserve ECHPs for the most complex cases, expand in-school support, and address council budget shortfalls caused by the current system.
