Barking & Dagenham - Every pair tells a story national movement

Every pair of shoes tells a story. Families across the UK are leaving empty shoes outside council offices to symbolise the thousands of children being failed by the SEND system.
This local event in Barking & Dagenham is part of the national Every Pair Tells a Story action, showing that children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities deserve education, support, and a future.
Bring along a pair of shoes to represent your child, or simply come and stand with us in solidarity. Together we’ll show the scale of this crisis – and that families in Barking & Dagenham will not stay silent.
What to Bring
👟 A pair of shoes (labelled with your child’s name or story if you wish)
🖊️ A note, tag, or photo to attach
💛 Your support and solidarity
