Meanwhile Government are inviting parents to help shape the future of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system.
Minister for School Standards Georgia Gould said:
“We want this to be the biggest national conversation on SEND in a generation, and I urge parents, teachers and all those with views to participate and help us deliver lasting reform.
Ahead of the publication of the Schools White Paper early next year, the Department for Education is committed to testing the proposals with young people and families alongside teachers and other experts.
In partnership with the Council for Disabled Children, they are hosting a series of SEND Engagement events across the country where attendees can share their views .
Although the West Midlands regional event in Birmingham on January 12 is already sold out, there are two opportunities to join the national conversation by signing up to an online event on Tuesday 6th January and Wednesday 14th January at 6.00 pm.
