× PARENTS of vulnerable children at a special school have been ‘guilt-tripped’ into not sending their kids to classes, according to a fed-up father.
Jonathan Wainwright, of Wath-upon-Dearne, is a campaigner for the Barnsley SEND Matters group and one of his three children, ten-year-old William, attends Greenacre on Keresforth Hill Road, Kingstone.

Jonathan said: “It was an attempt to make vulnerable children not come into school even though the government said it’s OK - we shouldn’t be guilted out.
