Richmond Upon Thames Council #RichmondUponThamescouncil has breached: The government’s SEND Code Of Practice provides guidance on the special educational needs and disability (SEND) system for children and young people aged 0 to 25, from 1 September 2014. This statutory code contains: #BreakingNews
Details of legal requirements that you must follow without exception. #richmonduponthames #AchievingForChildren Payment is due for #QualityofEducation
Required Urgent Investment is needed for Special Educational Needs. Where the Diversity. #Equity
In 2019/20, 80,135 children in England with a statement of SEN or an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan had a primary SEN associated with learning disability or difficulty. This is only 29% of all children with a statement of SEN or an EHC plan (Gov.uk, 2020).

UK SEND Ethnic Background Data:
UK-based studies.
The data showed moderate learning difficulties (MLD), where pupils may learn at a slower pace than their peers, was the most frequent type of SEN, with four per cent of pupils identified as having MLD in 2016. Social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties were identified in 2.8 per cent of pupils and autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) in 1.3 per cent.
The researchers’ analysis found Pakistani pupils and black Caribbean pupils were over-represented for MLD compared with white British pupils, while Indian and Chinese pupils were substantially under-represented.

Black Caribbean and mixed white and black Caribbean pupils were twice as likely to be identified as having SEMH difficulties, while Asian groups (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and other Asian) were all substantially under-represented alongside the “white other” group. Black African pupils, who make up 3.7 per cent of all pupils in England – a much larger group than either black Caribbean at 1.2 per cent or mixed white and black Caribbean at 1.5 per cent – were not over-represented for SEMH. The researchers therefore warn against making generalisations about “black” pupils.

Special education statistics by race worldwide
While overall, 14.5 percent of public school students were served by IDEA in 2020-21, that number varies by race and ethnicity.
¤ White students – 14.9% served under IDEA
¤ Black students – 16.8%
¤ Hispanic students – 14.1%
¤ Asian students – 7.6%
¤ Pacific Islander students – 11.6%
¤ American Indian/Alaska Native students – 18.6%
¤ Two or more race students – 15%
I personal believe we are required to understand the important difference between Independent Placements, Specialist Education, Mainstream from Neurodiverse/Hidden Disabilities Educational placements, which would be know as Independent Specialist placements for example trained teachers assistances, 7 class size with support including for Neurodivers students with additional exam support included.
From Mainstream which has massive capacity class size and no exam support like additional support. Which would not be included & to High Specialist Placements, which individuals with disabilities would feel it’s right to be accepted into mainstream educational placements.
In this case I would say that local authorities have no obligation to over step their control to direct their opinion on Student, families and Young adults. When the law states in result to family act, SEND Act and Human Rights act and any other laws and acts which are in support of Students and families views and human rights to Education choice. In relation to Education. That individual are entitled to their choice of Education, especially in SEND, “Special Educational Needs. Which has not been practiced and been taken advantage of by local authorities who have fixed outlook of local offer and mainstream educational placements. Who believe they are the educators. In my personal opinion local authorities are and have not fit for purpose for years. In this case Achieving for Children, “Richmond Upon Thames.” Have short fall to follow laws and process which makes them not fit for purpose.
Independent Education: Private schools (also known as ‘independent schools’) charge fees to attend instead of being funded by the government. Pupils do not have to follow the national curriculum. All private schools must be registered with the government and are inspected regularly.
Special Education:
Currently, a child or young person is considered to have SEN if they have a disability or learning difficulty that means they need special educational provision. Special educational provision means that the child needs support that would not generally be provided to a child of the same age in a mainstream school. “Education setting care not health care.” #educationmustbeabouteducation
Grammar Education:
Grammar schools are state-funded, academically selective senior schools. The education a child receives at grammar school is paid for by the state unlike at private schools which provide education for a fee. There are currently 163 located in 36 English local authorities, with around 167,000 pupils between them.
Mainstream Education:
School teaching pupils of a wide range of abilities and aptitudes. Mainstream schools are not special schools or pupil referral units.
Academy Education
Academic education is research-based and consists of academic bachelor’s and master’s programmes. For academic bachelor’s programmes, the main aim is for students to continue their studies in a master’s programme. Academic master’s programmes are academically oriented but can also include a professional orientation. #endcommodityeducation

Academics are not Educational placements as their profitability placements , which were created to profit before students and young adults. I believe in my personal opinion these placement to be abolished. Which have massive investments in arms and fossil fuels included.
We are we creating Education or are we creating a Commodity society which is short falling the current and future generations of students and young adults.
Did you know that?
“How many children leave school unable to read or write?”
More than 200,000 pupils will leave primary school this year without being able to read, according to unpublished figures by the Government. The figures show that the number of students who struggle with literacy has risen by 30,000 over the past year during the pandemic, when schooling has been disrupted.
