Today's Video Focus: It's tough enough for children with special educational needs, let alone
getting the help they need from the school system. We're investigating
the issue all this week and how getting the right support can be a long
battle.
Without the right provisions, many children simply begin refusing to go
to school. Across England, three quarters of a million pupils were
persistently absent in the last term of 2018. Parents can face
prosecution or fines if their children continually fail to meet
attendance targets, and last year more than 27,000 parents were taken to
court in England and Wales, leaving many feeling they're being punished
rather than getting the help they so desperately need.
Focus of the Day Article:

with nearly 70,000 having already used the more limited version
available now, the Master of the Rolls has revealed.
