SPECIAL EDUCATION NEEDS (INFORMATION) PRIVATE MEMBERS' BILL

Motion Text

That this House recognises that there is currently insufficient information available to analyse outcomes for school pupils with special educational needs; welcomes the Special Education Needs (Information) Private Members' Bill which aims to improve the provision and publication of such information by amending the Education Act 1996 to ensure that the efficiency of schools in delivering positive outcomes for pupils with special educational needs is recorded and published annually; and believes that this would enable parents to make informed choices about their children's education as well as a more informed assessment of which special educational needs policies are achieving the best results, thus building a case for identifying and introducing best practice.
