The SEND and alternative provision green paper has been published following the completion of the Department for Education’s long-awaited SEND review which was launched in 2019.

The proposals, backed by £70m of new funding, will be subject to a 13-week public consultation due to close on 1 July, DfE has announced.

Increased early intervention for children with SEND and a single system combining SEND and alternative education provision feature highly in the plans.

The creation of new national standards across education, health and care to build for a higher performing SEND system are also among measures set out in the paper.
