The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she will publish The Schools White Paper covering SEND matters.

Answered by Georgia Gould

To create a reformed special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system that will stand the test of time, we have undertaken a national engagement campaign on SEND reform, building on extensive engagement over the past year with children, young people, parents and professionals.

The upcoming Schools White Paper will outline our proposed SEND reforms and will be followed by a formal consultation and further engagement.
