Paul Goggins MP signs National Autistic Society’s ‘Great Expectations’ pledge - 08/07/2011 |
 Local MP Paul Goggins has attended the launch of the National Autistic Society (NAS) ‘Great Expectations’ campaign in Westminster. The campaign aims to inform and influence the Government’s proposed overhaul of the Special Educational Needs (SEN) System.
‘Great Expectations’ is based on research the NAS conducted with over 1,000 parents of children with autism as well as young people themselves about their experiences of the education system and how they feel it can be improved to work best from them.
Paul Goggins said: ““The NAS Great Expectations Report provides a solid foundation on which to build a robust SEN system. Children with autism have a right to local and appropriate services for their children and it is only right that an organisation which provides such fantastic local and national support to parents should be leading the way on these reforms.”
