Surrey Councillor: ‘About one third of diagnoses in Surrey have Autistic Spectrum Disorder as the main presentation of SEN and we have a large number of intelligent parents, which may be linked – we’re doing some work with South Bank University to understand that some more.”

So, either we have a eugenicist amongst us or SCC really don’t like those damn intelligent parents! The thing is when you create a ‘them and us’ battlefield, parents will fight. SCC have been referred to DfE for kids out if sch with no provision after failed Ofsted and WSOA.

Maybe they need to look inward at their own attitudes. Working with schools and families rather than against them could create a more cost effective service rather than sch and families feeling they need to fight for every Penny.
