Consultation of the Week: Green Paper: Children and Young People With Special Educational Needs and Disabilities -- Call for Views.

1 min read Education Health
What's it all about? This autumn, children's minister Sarah Teather will publish a green paper outlining the government's approach to improving the support for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities.

The consultation document states that too many children and young people with SEN or disabilities are failed by services, and in light of the imminent spending review, a more cohesive approach is needed.

What are the main points? The proposed principles for the green paper include greater transparency for parents so they know exactly what SEN provision is available and how their child will be supported; better value from SEN services; less bureaucracy; and the involvement of parents in the planning and delivery of SEN services.

Who can have their say? Teather is keen to hear where improvements in government policy can be made from those directly affected by it. Views are sought from parents, young people, practitioners and professionals, and anyone else who has experience with SEN or disability.
