Flagship policies proposed in a major government review to fix the broken SEND system won’t be rolled out nationwide until potentially 2026, government has announced today.
The Department for Education will publish its delayed special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) improvement plan this morning in response to a review first launched 1,274 days ago in September 2019.
The green paper, published in March last year, proposed legislation to create new national SEND standards, as there has been “too much local discretion”.
It also put forward plans for controversial “tailored lists” of schools for parents of SEND children to choose from, as well as digitised education, health and care plans and mandatory mediation when parents dispute a council’s decision.
