Situation
One in five pupils leave primary school without achieving the basics of reading and writing. Among these primary pupils, 59% have special educational needs. 20% of all school pupils have a special educational need (SEN) 18% have a disability With the right support, most of them do well at school. They obtain qualifications and later, employment. However, for those whose needs are not met, the implications are bleak. Without the right support, children with SEN are much more likely
Solution
Every week our telephone helplines receive hundreds of calls that we cannot answer. We want to recruit and train more volunteers so that we can help more children with special educational needs / disability fulfill their educational potential. A donation of £2,500 will allow us to recruit and train a new volunteer to advise parents.
