DfE * SEND Reform National Conversation * – Online Series

The themes of engagement include:
- Early intervention, including earlier in children’s lives when this can have most impact.
- Local provision, so young people can learn at a school close to their home, alongside their peers, as well as the vital role of special provision for complex needs.
- Fairness, so every school has the resources and capability to meet changing needs – stopping parents fighting for support and ensuring clear legal safeguards for children and parents.
- Effective practice, grounded in evidence to ensure excellent long-term outcomes.
- Shared working that means education, health and care services working in partnership with local government, families, teachers, experts and representative bodies.
Attendees can share their views on a range of proposals from experts – such as children having written records of support, giving families access to independent advocacy and providing a national framework for support available to children with SEN across all settings.
