The Joining the Dots report from LKMco, an education Think Tank, warns that provision for young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) is becoming fragmented, despite reforms that aimed to provide a simpler and more joined up system.
The goal of this report was to highlight the changes that have taken place since 2010; examine the effect of these changes on those with SEND; and make practical and realistic recommendations to policy makers, schools and Ofsted.
The report recommends a mandatory minimum level of training on special educational needs and disability for classroom teachers; for Ofsted to investigate how schools support the attainment of SEND pupils and whether the training needs of teachers are being met; and that every school or cluster has a SEND specialist providing expertise to support schools to ensure the best possible provision.
In listing research, EdCentral makes no judgment or recommendation as to its quality, validity or methodology and none should be inferred. Through peer ratings left by education practitioners, EdCentral’s aim is to support the development of a repository of shared knowledge and experience.
