Guernsey mum: time is 'running out' for disabled children's education

A mum in Guernsey has said time is 'running out' for her disabled children's education.

Leonie Burrows has hearing impairments, so do her three children.

They don't receive enough help in school for their disabilities she says, and there are no specialist staff on hand.

It comes after a report said that two years on, Guernsey's Disability Strategy is making 'slow progress' and disability laws have been delayed.

Leonie says more needs to be done now or it will soon be too late to help her children, and any other disabled children currently in education.

Some progress has been made, she says but she wants to see more.
