Voice of the UK

Available for over a year

Ministers are facing calls to not cut education plans for children and young people with special needs and disabilities. Campaigners say education, health and care plans are "precious legal protections", warning thousands of children could lose access to education if the plans are abolished. The government says it inherited the system "left on its knees". 5 Live listeners got in touch to share their thoughts with Nicky Campbell.
