Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 ignited the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the most significant events in the Civil Rights Movement. Her courageous act of defiance became a symbol of resistance against racial segregation, and Parks' lifelong dedication to social justice contributed to transformative changes in American society. Parks is remembered as a hero who fought for equality, dignity, and freedom.

Today The Sutton Trust has published a report revealing socio-economic inequalities in accessing support for children and young people with SEND.

Our view is that, if the default position of public bodies is not to support children with SEND unless their families enforce the law, that will inevitably create disadvantage for families who aren’t in a position to do this. The answer? Zero tolerance for public bodies that disregard their legal duties. The Government's forthcoming white paper on SEND reform must address this.
