The SEN and Disability Reforms:one month in, and counting… Annual Parent Carer Participation Event 1 October 2014 Ann Gross Director, Special Needs and Children Services Strategy
The ‘old’ system of SEND support wascomplicated, expensive and delivered poor outcomes
Aims of the reforms We want allchildren and young people to achieve well in their early years, at school and in college;find employment; lead happy and fulfilled lives; and have choice and control over their support. The SEND reforms will implement a new approach which seeks to join up help across education, health and care, from birth to 25. Help will be offered at the earliest possible point, with children and young people with SEND and their parents andcarers fully involved in decisions about their support and what they want to achieve. This will help lead to better outcomes and more efficient ways of working.
