My child has a legal right to an education.
He has an EHCP. The law says he should be receiving support and full-time education.
But in reality?
He’s been left without proper education for years.
2/ He has autism and struggles with the school environment.
Not because he doesn’t want to learn — but because his needs aren’t being met.
At times, he’s only been able to manage 1–2 hours a day.
That is not an education.
3/ I’ve done everything I was told to do.
Meetings. Reviews. Emails. Complaints.
Years of asking for help.
And still — no real change.
4/ The system says children like my son are protected.
That they have legal rights.
But those rights mean nothing if no one enforces them.
5/ This isn’t about refusing school.
This is about a child who cannot cope because the support isn’t there.
There is a difference — and it matters.
6/ I am now being forced to take legal action.
Not for anything extra.
Just for the basic right to an education.
This has taken a huge toll.
On him — and on our family.
Watching your child struggle, knowing they want to learn but can’t access it, is heartbreaking.
8/ And I know we are not the only ones.
How many other children are in the same situation right now This needs to change.
Children with SEND deserve more than paperwork and promises.
They deserve an actual education.
If you’ve experienced something similar — you’re not alone.
