Dear Colleague,

NATIONAL DAY OF MARCHES AGAINST SEND CUTS, 30 MAY 2019

On Thursday 30th May 2019 there will be a national day of marches around the country in protest at cuts to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) funding. This is being organised by local campaigners and is supported by the National Education Union and the TUC Disabled Workers’ Committee.

A list of the marches so far proposed is attached and available below.

The organisers aim to use social media as a way of getting people involved and keeping them up to date. National and local groups can be found on Twitter and Facebook.

Should you have any queries please contact our Equal Opportunities Officer, Jess Webb, on j.webb@rmt.org.uk or t:020 7529 8821.

Yours sincerely,

Mick Cash
General Secretary
