Recent research found people with
a greater sense of entitlement are less likely to follow instructions than less entitled people are, because they view the instructions as an unfair imposition on them.
There is often a
great deal
of talk about opposing a
sense of victimhood and
entitlement — which most people in my neighborhood would probably agree with — but we must recognize that people are still being victimized by police brutality and other forms
of trauma; they are entitled to both the basic necessities
of life as well as opportunities to provide those and more for themselves.
The key points from each strand are highlighted as follows: Early Identification and support • Early identification
of need: health and development review at 2/2.5 years • Support in early years from health professionals:
greater capacity from health visiting services • Accessible and high quality early years provision: DfE and DfH joint policy statement on the early years; tickell review
of EYFS; free
entitlement of 15 hours for disadvantaged two year olds • A new approach to statutory assessment: education, health and care plan to replace statement • A more efficient statutory assessment process: DoH to improve the provision and timeliness
of health advice; to reduce time limit for current statutory assessment process to 20 weeks Giving parent's control • Supporting families through the system: a continuation
of early support resources • Clearer information for parents: local authorities to set out a local offer
of support; slim down requirements on schools to publish
SEN information • Giving parents more control over support and funding for their child: individual budget by 2014 for all those with EHC plan • A clear choice
of school: parents will have rights to express a preference for a state - funded school • Short breaks for carers and children: a continuation in investment in short breaks • Mediation to resolve disagreements: use
of mediation before a parent can register an appeal with the Tribunal
