The government has announced a review into support for children with special educational needs.
Five years on from reforms introduced to better support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), the review aims to improve the services available to families who need support, equip staff in schools and colleges to respond effectively to their needs as well as ending the ‘postcode lottery’ they often face.
The review comes a week after the government announced an extra £700million in 2020/21 for pupils with the most complex needs.
