The Special Educational Needs and Disability reform proposals for education in England have been met with dismay and anger by those affected. Some say it would represent the biggest reduction in children’s rights in a generation.This table by the amazing Rachel Filmer of SENDRA explains why:

Save this: SEND 2026: THE TRUTH: Nothing’s changed 🔴 EHCPs, legal rights and duties remain in force 🔴 Proposals don’t mean LAs & schools cannot lawfully downgrade, remove, or refuse support 🔴 Legal change won’t be this, or even next year #SaveOurChildrensRights
SEND 2026: THE TRUTH— Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise  1. Nothing has changed.  2. EHCPs remain in force.  3. Legal duties remain in force.  4. Local authorities and schools cannot lawfully downgrade, remove, or refuse support because of proposals.  5. Legislative change won’t be happening this year or even next year, whatever anyone tries to tell you.  6. Children’s existing rights stand. #SaveOurChildrensRights

Bold reform is needed but unless there is investment, accountability and system-wide inclusion, EHCPs will remain both essential and overstretched - leaving children in legal limbo, when they should be in schools that can meet their needs as a matter of course. www.tes.com/magazine/ana...
tes.com
Are EHCPs really driving the SEND crisis?
Education, health and care plans have been blamed for an unsustainable rise in special educational needs in schools, but would scrapping or limiting these plans fix the problem?
