What you are planning is utterly outrages. What about the 'invest to save initiative'? These children will become tax payers in the end, but it's your choice to limit their potential after investing in early diagnosis to prevent the issues that you are now going to create.

If this country can find £22,000 per week to house Prince Andrew in a Ski chalet, there is something seriously wrong with the way our money is being spent, especially when important services like these are being cut

So important to keep these services going, not only giving support and hope to parents, but essential support for the children concerned.

It strikes me as truly sad that the most vulnerable in our society should suffer because of supposed shortage of funding. Where is the compassion in Cambridgeshire County Council's decision?. Where is the emotional intelligence? How can they justify the financial choices they are making with regard to Cambs Sensory Service?

these children need vital specialist support throughout their childhood to give them the chance to lead more independent and rewarding lives as they grow up.

Young people will suffer badly if already scarce resource is further cut. Development will be compromised and children and families will suffer.

The Cambs Sensory Service has been instrumental in helping my son in school and it is essential that this work continues as my son could not progress with school without their constant support and guidance. This is an extremely important service and the team are fantastic.

I am a deaf adult with 2 deaf children. I know what support is required by deaf people having received excellent support myself. The quality of support received by my children is already at the bare minimum. Any reduction would be disastrous.

Britain USED to be a country that took care of it's less fortunate to help ensure a stable and healthy society. I suppose it's now more important to balance the books on the backs of bairns.

As an ex-member of the Visual Impairment Service (as it was once known) I feel very strongly that the current Sensory Service should remain together where their expertise can be shared rather than providing smaller groups targeting specific areas. I worked county wide in my role as Early Years TA and this meant I had a better working knowledge of working with children with visual impairment and their families for what is still considered to be a low-incidence disability. If support teachers and other staff are split up they will not be able to retain the excellent level of knowledge which the service has built up to a nationally recognised level of skill and the children will ultimately suffer as a result.
