Last month, the government published draft legislation on the reform of provision for children and young people with SEN, setting out the framework for a new system to support those currently identified with SEN and disabilities.
The Children and Families Bill will offer the biggest reform in 30 years, building on the reforms to the health service and drawing on recommendations of the Children and Young People’s Health Outcomes Forum.
