The Tide is Turning on SEN Provision After to years of battling for our children’s future trying to get anyone to listen, it is nice to have a variety of GOOD NEWS headlines. Alderman Knight and Belmont Schools Closures Halted Everyone was expecting some backlash against the ruling Labour / Liberal Democrat Coalition in the County Council Elections over the closure of the County’s Special Schools, but being on a General Election Day when most people tend to vote for the same parties both nationally and locally, few could have predicted the final outcome. The Conservatives swept to an overall majority and independent candidates in Tewkesbury and Brockworth opposed to Special School closures were also elected. We are pleased to report that the new Council Cabinet has been quick to honour its election pledges and at it first meeting voted to halt the closures of Alderman Knight and Belmont Special Schools. They are also committed to producing an new SEN Development plan. With Councillors Jackie Hall and Gordon Shurmer, who have worked closely with us over the past five years in key Cabinet posts, we are confident that this time the working party will involve all interested groups and bring forward proposals for the benefit of the education of pupils with all ranges of ability. Warnock admits Inclusion’s “disasterous legacy” SEN Policy has finally a national political issue and in a surprising about turn Baroness Warnock, viewed by many as the architect of inclusion in this country, has called for an independent committee to conduct a radical review of the current system and suggested strengthening the role of Special Schools.

This is a stupefying figure..We have inflicted it on ourselves.. "development disabilities" are nearly always generated by encephalitis. And the primary cause of encephalitis in the USA and other industrialised countries is the childhood vaccination program. To be specific, a large proportion of the millions of US children and adults suffering from autism, seizures, mental retardation, hyperactivity, dyslexia, and other shoots or branches of the hydraheaded entity called "development disabilities", owe their disorders to one or another of the vaccines against childhood diseases."
