Crucial debates on SEN

Legislation and guidance
All schools must get involved in the process of change as new ways of working and funding structures are introduced for SEN students. Dr Hilary Emery explains.

With major changes planned for provision for children with SEN, I would encourage you all to get involved locally in the change process to try and steer what happens.

Draft provisions for changing the SEN system were published in September. These will form part of the proposed Children and Families Bill (expected to become law in 2014). Twenty pathfinders were set up in September 2011 and are testing proposals set out in the SEN Green Paper.

Proposed Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP) will replace statements and to be effective they depend on us all understanding other planned changes in health systems and school funding.
