This doesn't affect everyone, but if you are a family with a severely disabled child struggling to give 24-hour care, or the parent of a child falling behind at school who doesn't know where to turn for help, then I hope it will make a significant difference. As Liberal Democrats in government, we started by listening to parents, families and young people. We had 1800 responses to our "Call for Views", and each person will be getting an email letting them know we've now published our Green Paper, and how to contribute to the consultation.
. . In particular, I'd like your views on the following two questions:
1. If you are a teacher, school governor or local councillor, how do you think we can support schools in spreading the good practice in teaching and supporting children? What really works in your area?
2. If you are a parent with a child with special needs, or know someone who is, how do you react to the idea of a personal budget, and what support do you think would be needed to make the most of it?
I'll be looking at your replies and come back soon with a further posting. I look forward to hearing from you.
* Sarah Teather MP is MP for Brent Central and Minister of State for Children and Families.
