Parents take to parliament to call for SEND action

Monday 15 September 2025
Today is a big day in parliament for families in England with children who have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The Disabled Children’s Partnership (DCP) and Let Us Learn Too are hosting a drop-in event from 3-4pm, bringing together parent carers and MPs.
This is an important opportunity for MPs to learn about Contact and the DCP’s Fight for Ordinary campaign, and for families to tell representatives how they want the SEND system to change.
We will be following drop-in closely and later this week sharing a round-up for what MPs and families discussed and what we want to see happen next.
Before the drop-in, parent carers are gathering in Parliament Square from 11.30am to show their support for the campaign. The rally has been organised by Let Us Learn Too and SEND Sanctuary.
And later in the day, MPs will be debating a petition to “Retain legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND” that has received over 120,000 signatures.
