The Independent covers vital issues impacting American society, such as reproductive rights and special needs education. Recent concerns have arisen about potential changes to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), crucial documents that ensure support for children with special needs. The school standards minister has not ruled out restricting or replacing EHCPs, which campaigners warn could lead to significant adverse impacts, possibly forcing disabled children out of mainstream education. The need for reliable journalism, free from paywalls, is highlighted to enhance public understanding and engagement with these pressing matters.
Hundreds of thousands of children with special needs are at risk of losing their legal entitlement to support in schools as the government has not ruled out scrapping EHCPs.
Changes to the EHCP system could force thousands of pupils out of mainstream education, campaigners have warned, accusing the government of an assault on disabled people.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum and believes quality journalism should be free from paywalls.
