The Government SEND Review 2022
In November 2021 Will Quince, Minister for Children and Families, wrote an open letter to:
- parent carers of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)
- their families
- those who support them
The letter set out plans for delivering the SEND Review. And the importance of meeting with and listening to:
- children and young people
- parent carers
- school, college and local authority staff
- SEND organisations and experts across early years, education, health and care;
to influence the proposals for public consultation.
The government met people from across the system. It gathered their views and supporting evidence. They:
- reviewed feedback and decided what changes need to be made
- published a green paper (March 2022) on proposed changes and the future of the SEND and alternative provision system.
The green paper set out proposals for a system that offers children and young people:
- the opportunity to thrive, with access to the right support, in the right place, and at the right time so they can;
- fulfil their potential and lead happy, healthy and productive adult lives
The green paper in full: SEND Review - right support, right place, right time
