Councils warn of 'total collapse' in special needs system

The warning from councils about a potential 'total collapse' in the special needs system underscores the critical state of support for children with special educational needs. This situation is exacerbated by broader governmental challenges, as seen in the ongoing strikes by resident doctors and hospital consultants over pay, which reflect a growing discontent with government responses to systemic issues. The pressure on the government to reform the special needs system parallels the healthcare sector's struggles, indicating a widespread demand for effective solutions across various public services.
