Parent discusses lack of SEN provision in Devon<\/h3>\n

Many fans tuned in to this week’s Countryfile took to social media to complain one segment wasn’t specific to “the countryside,” and accused the BBC show of staggering into “political” topics.<\/p>\n

Tom Heap explained how families across the country are struggling to get the support they need for their child, particularly in rural areas.<\/p>\n

He stated: “The number of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) is rising dramatically.<\/p>\n

“Across the UK, there are nearly two million children who need additional support in education.<\/p>\n

“And how easy it is to get that support can vary significantly.”<\/p>\n

He continued: “A lot of councils report issues with funding, especially in rural areas,” before he met one Devon family who have been impacted.<\/p>\n

Tom met 10-year-old Rupert and his parents, Scott and Emily.<\/p>\n

The youngster had started to struggle with loud noises in the classroom and has been unable to attend school regularly for two years despite being diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.<\/p>\n

Emily explained how Rupert needed to have a safe space provided for him at school, but many rural schools don’t have the room or the staff to equip classrooms with additional support.<\/p>\n
