Dad claims children's voices 'brushed aside' in city SEND consultation

The voices of children at the centre of a Liverpool Council consultation over their future school places are being “brushed aside” a parent has claimed.

Youngsters at special educational needs and disability (SEND) schools across the city could be forced to relocate to new sites as part of a shake-up of provisions by the local authority. A consultation on proposals has been launched by Liverpool Council, which includes the students at Bank View School in Fazakerley being moved 14 miles away to Parklands in Speke.

Consideration will also be given to Princes School on Selborne Street moving to Redbridge School on Long Lane, while Redbridge would move into Bank View as they occupy the same site. Parents are now having their chance to meet with council officials to provide their thoughts on the proposed moves.
