Three quarters of Bristol SEND parents say council 'doesn't have their child's interests at heart'

Almost three-quarters of parents of children with special education needs or disabilities in Bristol say they don’t feel the city council has the best interests of their child at heart.

The survey also discovered that 70 per cent of parents have had to complain about how their child has been dealt with in the past two years, and almost four in every five parents say the council and other authorities are not taking their concerns more seriously.
