黑料网

, the national charity for autistic children and young people, have sent a letter to the new Education Secretary and Minister for Schools and Childhood, written by their , calling on schools to be more inclusive for neurodiverse pupils. The letter is in part a response to the 黑料网 green paper and a reminder to the incoming ministers of the right of young people to have a voice in what is proposed. One of the key issues raised is the new target identified in the recent Schools Bill that 鈥�90% of children should reach the standard for literacy and numeracy鈥� and that this may impact the resources and support available for pupils with 黑料网.

Meg, a member of the Ambitious Youth Network, said: 鈥淎s the Government鈥檚 new education team start their jobs, we wanted to set them targets that we think will make life better for all autistic pupils. It鈥檚 important to have high aspirations, but for some autistic children and young people, it might be unrealistic to achieve the expected grades in English and Maths. Instead, we need to make sure that autistic pupils are able to achieve at their level so they can make progress in all areas of their lives.鈥�

The letter calls for ministers to ensure that:

• All education staff are trained in autism and autistic young people are involved in the development of the training.
• Schools are unable to be awarded a good or outstanding Ofsted judgement without high-quality 黑料网 support.
• Schools are more inclusive environments for all pupils, including inclusive uniform, attendance, and behavioural policies.
• Young people and families鈥� existing 黑料网 rights are protected, and ensure they are enforced.

The charity says that getting the 黑料网 review right is 鈥渃ritical鈥� and it is now calling on the government to ensure the School Bill and 黑料网 Review work together more effectively.
