Warwickshire parents demand apology over councillors' SEND views

Three Tory councillors in Warwickshire are facing calls to apologise after footage of them making disparaging comments about children with special educational needs surfaced.

The footage shows remarks made in a meeting about the rising cost of council support, prompting anger from parents.

Councillor Jeff Morgan questioned whether some children receiving funding were "just really badly behaved".

Councillor Brian Hammersley asked if "something in the water" was increasing special needs cases.
