Dear All,
This is an urgent request for support for disabled young people whose rights to inclusive education are under a severe threat. As you know the Government have pledged to ‘Reverse the Bias Towards Inclusion’ (Ha!) and have made proposals in the new Green Paper on Special Education which would push back 30 years of progress.
We are organising a campaign to ‘Reverse the Bias Towards Segregation’ and it starts with a demonstration on June 29th in Westminster (the last day of the consultation period).
Please come and bring as many other people as possible.
Also, could you spread the word through your networks, and let any press contacts you have know about the event.
A prepared statement supporting the campaign from any organisations you represent would be really useful.

The Panorama programme about the abuse in a private Care Home was a harrowing reminder of the vulnerability of anyone locked out of sight in any institution including ‘Special’ schools. Those of us still on the outside must make a lot of noise to protect those now and in the future who will be put ‘Out of Sight’.
For people who are up for an ‘action’ on the day, we are having a special planning meeting on June 7th, 7.30pm at the Royal Festival Hall Cafe (first floor). Please come to that if you can.
All the best,
Micheline and Richard
