Protecting Services for Disabled Children
On Friday 10 July, the new government launched a website
http://spendingchallenge.hm-treasury.gov.uk/ to let the public have their say about public spending under the its spending review.
Government will be looking at the responses over the summer, so that they can publish their decisions in October. The discussions and decisions the government takes over the summer will determine how public money will be spent for the next four years.
We realise that this work is taking place at a time when it can be hard for schools to engage with things. However we cannot stress enough how important it is that as many families and people working with disabled children as possible speak up. This is a critical time, and the decisions taken now will affect disabled children for the next few years. There is a real opportunity to make our views heard about the importance of investing in and protecting services for disabled children and their families.

Communication Works feedback
To all concerned with the Communication Workshop:
I was very impressed by the entire set up and enthusiasm at the Workshop. On behalf of the Governors, I congratulate you all and THANK YOU. Chairman of Governors, Charlton School
Many thanks again. I thought that the day went well and a definite date
for the diary in the future. Ian Foulger, Techcess
“ J and myself really found Friday’s seminar very useful. We realised how it would have been of benefit to many more of our staff who work in other areas of the school. (There was so much more to take in than we did). And we met some wonderful people including pupils who were friendly, made us feel very welcome, helpful and informative of our questions”. Teaching Assistant working with a disabled pupil in a mainstream school.
