This morning I’m launching my new report - SEND in Crisis. Since I was elected in July last year, I’ve been blown away by the scale of the SEND crisis here in Suffolk Coastal. Too many families are stuck in a broken SEND system - under strain, exhausted, and desperate for basic support.

This morning I spoke to BBC Radio Suffolk about "SEND in Crisis" – my new report on the state of special educational needs and disabilities provision here in Suffolk Coastal.

Last week I wrote to the Leader of Suffolk County Council and the Cabinet lead for Education to urge them to take urgent action to increase capacity for SEND provision within Suffolk.

I had a great time visiting Kyson Primary School last week, on their last day of term for Easter.
