After years of austerity and denial under a new Reform UK council, a failing Send service was pushed into the spotlight by staff, unions and parents — culminating in a £1.3m funding boost and a 50% increase in front-line workers. MARTIN PORTER explains
THERE has been a lot of confusion about the situation in schools since Wednesday, when a decision was made to close schools to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
