Learning Disability and Special Educational Needs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what measures will be introduced to monitor whether Special Educational Needs and Disabilities reform improves educational outcomes for children and young people.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Every child deserves an education that meets their needs, one that is academically stretching, where every child feels like they belong, and that sets them up for life and work.
We will set out the full Schools White Paper soon, building on the work we have already done to create a system that is rooted in inclusion, where children receive high quality support early on and can thrive at their local school.
The department regularly publishes statistics on pupils with special educational needs, including information on educational attainment, destinations, absence and exclusions.
