Reform of SEND system to protect children with EHCPs to get a suitable education

Background

Hold Local Authorities accountable for SEND failures. Ensure EHCP support is delivered, not just written,Set enforceable timescales for assessments and placements Reduce delays for neurodevelopment assessments.Prevent children being left without education during disputes

Additional details

We call on the Government to reform SEND by holding Local Authorities accountable when they fail their duties, ensuring EHCP support is delivered, not just written. We need enforceable timescales for assessments and placements, more specialist school places, faster neurodevelopmental assessments, and guarantees that children are not left without education during disputes. Every child has a right to an education, and SEND children should not have to fight for the support they need.
