To be clear, current spending year 23/24 is 1.73 billion on getting disabled children to school.
Whilst this is a significant increase, from a meager 645 million pounds in fiscal year 2016/2017, and the system is showing signs of strain, it is actually to be expected.
To put this into perspective, that 1.73 billion is tuppance compared to some absolute ridiculous nonsense the UK taxpayer is currently paying out on.
Hs2 (a road) is costing us 70 billion pounds.
Chagos islands deal (to house American rockets) – costing us 35 billion pounds.
Even the asylum hotels that the Daily Mail go on about all day costs more than this at around 2 billion a year.
Why are we hiring companies to do this? Must be cheaper to do it inhouse.
I’d like to see anyone that marrys their first cousin have access to funding for child disability services cut.
There’s a reason birmingham has a massive bill for disabled children.
We know the science, and morally it is just plain evil.
How else are they meant to wave flags outside hotels at the other side of the country?
One factor that people never like to discuss is that we’ve got a lot better at keeping babies alive – especially extremely premature babies.
Whereas once they would have died as neonates, now they survive but often with very significant physical or cognitive disabilities that necessitate a special school. We have kids that are in wheelchairs, on portable ventilators with little hope of ever coming off ventilation, let alone living a relatively normal life. Often they will need 24/7 lifetime care.
While saving babies is something the parents desperately want, we cannot pretend that this is a cost free course of action.
There’s a lot of chat about mild autism diagnosed a lot more, and not a lot about kids who wouldn’t have survived 10 or 20 years earlier.
Oh goody this again
I was one of those kids (I’m autistic and dyspraxic) and this was an era where going to mainstream school was not thought of as possible for a kid like me, but I went anyway.
We moved, tried to get into local mainstream primary, no room. Where is there room? Where I went before.
School was 3 miles away. Taxi picked a bunch of us up, we all went to the same school apart from one kid.
So there was me, a girl with cerebral palsy who was walking with a stick at primary school (last time I saw her she was using an electric wheelchair), a girl who had a tracheotomy at about age 7 and I can’t remember much about the other two.
So when I was aged in single figures my daily trip to school was measured in hours, such fun
Why are their parents unable to transport them to school themselves, the way other parents do…? Or public transport? A school bus?
Three cars parked on the drive and the taxpayer picks up the bill to take kids to school.
