Families in Derbyshire say they have been driven to “despair” by the barriers they have faced in securing support for children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
A recent Ofsted report details “widespread and systemic failings” around the outcomes of children with SEND in the county.
Parents have now told the BBC they have faced delays with education, health and care (EHC) plans and problems with communication, which left their children without appropriate support and missing significant amounts of time in education.
