Why Keir Starmer could face a fresh rebellion over disability support for Send children
Sir Keir Starmer has not yet been saved from the bruising U -turn in the Bota benefit cuts, but it is already facing a new rebellion.
A similar coalition of MPS and campaign groups, including most of the same charity institutions opposing welfare reforms, warns that they do not interrupt their educational plans for children and young people with special education needs and obstacles for the Prime Minister (SOD).
The Prime Minister seems to know that if the chaos around the planned welfare bill, and the backbencher now applies enough pressure, they can force their leaders to force the hand.
However, Sir Keir and Chancellor Rachel Reeves will be aware of the pressure on public finance and that another billion pound policy change may rarely face.
Independent He looks at why the government is under pressure from sending and what to do about it.
What are the educational, health and care plans (ECHPs)?
An education, health and care plan (EHCP) summarizes the special support needed by people aged 25 and under to meet social care needs.
It is designed to help disabled people get what they need to access learning and reach their potential.
Based on the evaluation of professionals, documents are legally binding and demonstrate the support of young people separately.
Are ECHPs at risk?
The campaign group warned that the rights of our children’s rights are planning to weaken or abolish the government’s right to weaken or abolish an Echp right, and that it plans other rights, including the right to participate in a suitable school and to receive support, such as speech and language therapy.
He said government plans are currently to save money by supporting learning difficulties or disabled children, which are currently costing 12 billion pounds a year.
The Ministry of Education said that there is no plan to remove financing or support from children, families and schools ”.
“It would be wrong to argue that children, families or schools may experience any loss of financing or support,” a spokesman said.
Why would the government cut EHCPs?
The government has previously returned to support disabled people when he tried to reduce £ 5 billion from the welfare bill through the welfare invoice, which was previously the main disability assistance (PIP).
The argument was that the bill was unidentified and that the National Audit Office (NAO) provided a similar warning about the ECHPs.
The number of EHCP increased by 150 percent between 2015-2024 and NAO estimates that it could overcome 1 million by 2033.
What did the campaigns say?
A letter Guardian On Monday, he said on Monday, signed by dozens of special needs group.
The letter, “Whatever the problems of the sending system, the answer is not to remove the rights of children and young people,” he said.
He said that the removal of ECHPs will not eliminate the needs of young people in a magically way, but that they would already increase applications for crowded private schools or they would completely remove children from school.
What did the deputies say?
A Labor Party MP Independent These Backbenchers are preparing for a struggle similar to the war on which they fight on the PIP on the ECHPs.
“They have established strong relations with the sending campaignists, if it is said to be a betrayal, they will withdraw against any deduction,” he said.
Another quote was made Times He says: orsa If they think that it is bad to get money from disabled adults, follow what happened when they try the same thing as disabled children. ”
When will the changes become clear?
The government is expected to publish a white article that details its reforms to send training in autumn.
This means that ministers have the chance to make any reform and get back bending to eliminate any potential rebellion over changes.
However, the long delay also means that disability campaignists will have all the summer to enter the ears of MPs, and that the rebel labor force parliamentarians will have plenty of times to plan a rebellion.
Ultimately, reforms will represent a test that Sir Keir listens to and learned how well the political sensitive changes that uneasy workers’ deputies have been dealt with.
Any amendment shall be based on whether the necessary access to the deputies throughout the party and the relevant campaign groups that make them lobbying.
If not, he returns to the problems he has left behind from the summer vacation.
