The government has published a new green paper on support for children with special educational needs in English schools. A long-awaited government review proposes making a number of changes to provide children with more effective support sooner.
Plans set out by the Department of Education aim to resolve various problems with the support system for children with special educational needs, which has been strongly criticised by parents. It says the new system will resolve long-standing problems.
However, some parents are angry at the delays to the review and say its publication is already too late. So what exactly is SEND, and what changes does the government propose making to support in schools?
