More Help for Schools with SEND
Government to Spend More on SEND Support
The UK government plans to spend billions to help schools support children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This includes £1.6bn for schools and £1.8bn for expert help like specialist teachers. The changes are part of a big plan to improve the SEND system.
Some people worry the money isn't enough because of past underfunding. There are also concerns about plans to reassess children's education, health, and care plans (EHCPs), which might mean less support for some children. Families and teachers say these plans are important for making sure children get the help they need.
The government says the new plans will help all children get the right support. They want to make sure schools are more inclusive and that teachers get better training to help children with SEND. The full details of these changes will be shared soon.
