In this episode, we sit down with Nana Okyere from SEN Bytes—Preparing for Adulthood Team Manager and SEND consultant—to unpack the real story behind EHCPs.

We explore why many parents feel let down by the system, how schools use (or misuse) funding, and the government’s controversial plans to narrow or replace EHCPs altogether.

Nana also shares his journey from TA to local authority panel chair, offering grounded insights into what needs to change—now.

🎙️ Topics include:

• The truth about EHCP implementation

• Why some schools apply just to move students on

• SEND funding misuse

• What real inclusion looks like

• Why so many kids are out of school for years

This one’s for parents, educators, and anyone fighting for real change in SEND education.
