A senior Department for Education civil servant overseeing the SEND review is leaving just as implementation of the long-awaited reforms begin.
Indra Morris, the department’s director general for families, will leave in the coming months after six years.
Her portfolio includes children’s social care, attendance and exclusions, as well as special educational needs and alternative provision.
The DfE has just started implementing its SEND and AP reforms, three years after the landmark review was launched in 2019. There have been six children’s ministers in that time.
