Dorset County Council is planning to cut spending on Special Educational Needs Funding.These huge cuts, which amount to 10% of some schools' budgets will result in redundancies in mainstream schools and larger class sizes in special needs schools. This will have disastrous consequences for children with conditions ranging from problems with reading    to autism and those with  severe physical handicap. The cuts originally proposed have been waived until September but have not even been approved by any committee at Dorset County Council. We call on county councillors to challenge Dorset County Council on these cuts and to allow no decision on the SEND budget to be made until it has been properly discussed by our elected representatives
