SIR - I write to express my concern over recent developments in the education of disabled children across Worcestershire.

It appears that from this autumn onwards, such pupils are to lose one day - perhaps two - a week of their schooling.

There simply isn't the money available, say Worcestershire County Council chiefs, as they award themselves a pay increase that is twice what they are paying their staff. A case of double pay increase and double standards, I'd say.

PAUL RENCHER, Evesham.
