Labour has offered little about how it might fix the “fundamentally broken” SEND system, although it did promise not to “rip everything up” if elected.
The party previously pledged to “improve inclusivity and expertise in mainstream schools”, echoing the Tories’ plans, and to “join up services and improve data use” to identify children’s needs earlier.
But it has said little on solving the many challenges in the SEND system, including how it would deal with the estimated £2.4 billion high-needs deficits faced by councils.
