Government launches major review into support for children with SEND

The Government has today launched a 'major' review that will look at the support available for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and how it can be improved.

The aim of the review is to improve the services available to families of children with SEND, equip staff in schools and colleges to respond effectively to their needs as well as end the ‘postcode lottery’ of support.

It follows a call for evidence on the SEND funding system, which the education secretary invited schools and local authorities to contribute to in May.

The review will look at how the system has evolved since the SEND reforms were introduced five years ago (2014), how it can be made to work best for all families and ensure quality of provision is the same across the country.
