Good to speak with parents this morning who are protesting outside @OxfordshireCC about the failings of the councils SEND department. A system that should be supporting parents is instead tangling parents up in legal fees and processes. We must do more and we must do better.

This is positive news for disabled people wanting to attend gigs! However, there are still accessibility barriers to overcome, particularly in relation to the availability of #ChangingPlaces toilets at gig venues bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment…

Using inaccessible toilets is dangerous, unhygienic and undignified for both the individual and their carer(s). This s why more #ChangingPlaces toilets are needed. changing-places.org/the_camp…

@ClivedenNT thank you for hiring @MobilooUK today 😍👍 By providing a #BenchAndHoist #ChangingPlaces toilet you made @OutdoorPlaysUK #GangstaGranny show #accessible to our party of 12! We hope to visit you again soon 😀 If Tam & Otis cannot "go", none of us can go!

Dear @BorisJohnson the costs of raising a child with a #disability (Thanks to the Dickensian work of the @DWP ) means families like ours will lose £1750 a yr under the new benefit system. To raise our children to adulthood costs £215,553 more than other families. I’m waiting...

This is one of the most shocking and incomprehensible statistics! EVERY hospital should have a #ChangingPlaces toilet - many of them should have multiple facilities! This is unacceptable and so wrong! 🤬🤬🤬 #ChangingPlaces #CPAD2019

Many people who need #ChangingPlaces will visit hospital more regularly yet less than 30% of hospitals in the UK provide these vital facilities. We hope @DHSCgovuk funding will change this changing-places.org/news/nhs… #CPAD2019

Just got my #pip appointment through for Friday! Upon opening the letter I was physically sick! I don’t think the @DWP realises the effect #pip has on those with disabilities & mental health conditions. I can assure you I won’t sleep until this is over! Send positive vibes pls.

#Oxfordshire is being re-inspected by #Ofsted in September, so we are keen to meet with #ParentCarers in Oxfordshire to understand more about your experiences of local Schools, EHC Plans, CAHMS, diagnosis process, support and anything else that concerns you.
