ASCL President Evelyn Forde will today (Friday 10 March) condemn the government for the erosion of children’s support services over the past decade as a survey reveals that the vast majority of school and college leaders view these services as being inadequate
Opening the association’s Annual Conference 2023 in Birmingham, she will say:
“Today we publish the bleak results of a survey showing the deplorable state of local children’s support services.
“To be clear. The dedicated professionals working in local authorities and other local agencies are not to blame. These support services have been eroded over the last decade by government austerity, by increasing demand, or by a mixture of both.
