It is...

absolutely shocking.

I wonder if there's any stories that stand out to you from your own life or from the campaign that really bring home this, just the frequency and the non-stopness of it.

EHCPs just for the layman listeners.

I assume there will be parents who cannot go through with that level of stress.

And that's the tactic, right?

Is to grind them down and hope they give up.

The spending by local authorities, the number that's being projected is $14 billion by 2028.

And the IFS are saying, you know, this is scary.

It's a big crunch moment.

How did this happen?

How has this number gotten so big?

Back in 2014, they changed the law.

I am not an economist, but I find it bananas.

that there's not more discussion about how money invested in children generally is some of the best investments you can make out there.

Let's just go back to the EHCPs.

So around 640,000 children have them.

As you've described here, they're absolutely vital.

And it's not as clear cut as you have them or you don't.

You know, there's kind of gradations within that.
