Special Educational Needs: Reform
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to publish her Department's White Paper on reforms to the SEND system.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
This government’s ambition is that all children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) receive the right support to succeed in their education and as they move into adult life.
We are clear that the current system is difficult for parents, carers and young people to navigate and simply not delivering the outcomes we want to see for our children.
Details of the government's intended approach to SEND reform will be set out in a Schools White Paper in the autumn.
