Schools in England need more staff to help children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The government wants schools to be more inclusive and has promised extra money. But the teaching union says it's not enough to meet these goals.

The government plans to make schools better for children with SEND by adding sensory spaces and getting help from specialists. They want schools to make an Individual Support Plan (ISP) for each child with SEND. But teachers are worried about having too much work and not enough help.

The union says teachers want to help all children, but they need more support and money. The government is asking schools and parents for their thoughts on these changes. The union is also thinking about taking action to ask for better pay and support.
