✍️ The article discusses the challenges faced by parents of children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) in England, particularly in accessing Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and securing the right education for their children.
👉 The number of children with Send in England has increased by 10.8% in the past year and 80% in six years. 👉 Parents and schools have become better at identifying children with Send, especially autism. 👉 Councils reject about a quarter of EHCP applications at the assessment stage. 👉 The government is planning major reforms of the Send system to provide more support to families earlier on and to reduce the adversarial nature of the current system.
