Open Your Eyes: The Battle for Education

Deaf reporter Erika Jones exposes a broken special education system where UK councils gamble with children’s futures to cut costs. Revealing that 73% of the UK’s 53,225 deaf children lack legal support plans, this investigation uncovers how councils force families into tribunals—knowing most won't fight, even though 99% of parents win. With whistleblower testimony exposing how headteachers misspend funds without government intervention, this timely film asks: will vulnerable children across all special needs continue to be left behind? This 30-minute BSL-signed and subtitled documentary for LumoTV is a Rare TV and Flashing Lights Media co-production. Reported by Erika Jones, series directed by Simon Gilchrist, and executive produced by Emma Barker and Emma Glassar.
