Leeds is still "significantly" short of special needs education and parents are angry and pressured by delays into a review of provision that has already taken two years so far, says the leader of one of the city's main facilities.

It comes as a campaign, backed by politicians and charities, is urging the Government to include disabled people and their parents and carers at the heart of its SEND (special education needs and disabilities) review.

In an open letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, campaigners claim that those most directly affected have been “largely excluded and even misrepresented” in the document which got underway in 2019 to look at how services for families can be improved, but campaigners say they are not being adequately consulted.
