Impact of SEND Reforms on Black, Asian and Minoritised Disabled Children, Young People and their Families

Posted

Include Me TOO, Black SEN Mamas and South Asian SEN Mamas have organised an
important event for parents and carers from our diverse SEND communities
regarding the SEND Reforms impact on Black, Asian and minoritised disabled
children, young people and their families.

Despite the growing evidence of racial disparity in SEND, particularly as
far as being disproportionately impacted by inequality, barriers to support,
exclusion and lack of representation, Black, Asian and minoritised disabled
children and young people are STILL being overlooked within conversations
around SEND reform.

This is an interactive virtual event, aimed at ensuring the voices from
racialised communities are being platformed, in conversations surrounding
SEND. We strongly encourage SEND parents/carers, teachers, specialists and
allies to attend.

We aim to explore what can we do collectively to influence better futures
for our Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young people.

Join us at this event:

The impact of SEND Reforms on Black, Asian and minoritised disabled
children, young people and their families

Discussions will cover:

  • Do the SEND reforms risk disproportionately affecting Black, Asian
    and minoritised disabled children and young people?
  • Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young people have
    faced inequality within the SEND system what needs to change
  • Why it is important to ensure our voices are heard and views
    considered within the SEND Reforms Proposal.
  • How can we collectively address the barriers and challenges for our
    advocacy, inclusion, representation to protect the futures of our disabled
    children and young people.

We cannot risk for Black, Asian and minoritised disabled children and young
people and families to be further disadvantaged and left further behind.

Do join us and attend this important event as our intersectional experiences
continue to be overlooked.
