SEND Reform: Putting Children And Young People First

The Department for Education and Department of Health and Social Care are reforming the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system to improve outcomes for children and young people, including those with autism. The reform addresses concerns about postcode lottery in specialist provision access, the scope of enforceable rights through Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), and specialist provision packages. The Education and Training (Young People with Autism) Bill is currently active, with recent parliamentary scrutiny focusing on impact assessments and alignment with select committee recommendations.
