'Schools just don't have the staff' to manage children with disabilities and special needs
Schools just ‘don’t have the staff to manage’ children with special educational needs and disabilities due to a lack of resources in Wigan. The borough’s SEND programme is currently in deficit as well as being in higher demand, the Children and Young People Scrutiny Committee was told.
The council has instilled five key priorities in order to try and rectify this - to ensure all education providers are fully inclusive, nurture support and promote those with SEND and have clear support pathways in place for parents and teachers, the chamber heard. The priorities also include wanting them to still feel connected to the community around them.
“Just to reinforce that many issues to do with SEND and provisions are to do with resources and that is not an excuse it is fact,” She told the committee. “In Wigan we don’t have overspend, but when you look at overspend in other authorities it is quite frightening. “We have strategies in places and schools behind us. But because we always appear to be short of resources it is always going to be difficult - that is always going to be the biggest challenge.”
