The challenge
Nationally, spending on SEND provision across England is currently unsustainable. Local Authorities have been allowed to accrue debts, which may top £7 billion in 2027.
While demands for mainstream schools to become “more inclusive” and for mainstream classrooms to accommodate a wider range of needs are growing, SEND EHCP systems and processes are overwhelmed.
We now know the ambition and intent of SEND Reforms: The recent Education White Paper lays out a five year road map impacting on in-school provision, staff development and training, costed “bands” of additional support, and implementation plans for all.
Microlink Education wishes to support all schools on this demanding journey.
