Published: 29th March 2022  Consultation Closes: 1st July 2022

The review has identified 3 key challenges facing the SEND and alternative provision system.

  • Navigating the SEND system and alternative provision is not a positive experience for too many children, young people and their families.
  • Outcomes for children and young people with SEND or in alternative provision are consistently worse than their peers across every measure.
  • Despite the continuing and unprecedented investment, the system is not financially sustainable.
