This episode isn’t about us.

It’s about you.

We asked families to share where they’ve been failed by the SEND system. What came back was overwhelming.

Draft EHCPs left open for months.
Support written into plans but never delivered.
Children kept “on roll” with no education.
Operational failures that destroyed trust.
Teenagers saying they’d rather be dead than go back to school.

These aren’t isolated stories.
The patterns are repeating across the country.

With SEND reform on the horizon, we’re asking a simple question:

If the system already isn’t delivering what’s legally required, what happens next?

If you recognise yourself in this episode, you’re not alone.
