SEND Review

Twenty councils have been shortlisted to lead a £70 million pilot of SEND reforms across their schools. Coventry is one of the councils shortlisted!

Up to nine “regional expert partnerships” in England will test reforms that include new national special educational needs and disabilities standards, and “tailored” lists of schools for children with education health and care plans.

The groups are set to launch by the end of this year to trial new policies put forward in the SEND and alternative provision green paper.

The selected councils should be known by the end of May and if Coventry is successful, then it is expected that all partners - parents/carers, children/young people, local organisations and professionals across education, health and care - will be involved.
