Consultation on the draft SEN Code of Practice


Recommended Posts

The Consultation on the draft SEN Code of Practice, draft Regulations and Transitional Arrangements

Today the Government has published a consultation giving more details of plans to overhaul the special educational needs (SEN) system to ensure that all children and young people with SEN receive the extra assistance they need.

This is the biggest transformation of SEN support for 30 years and it will give new rights and protections to 16-25 year olds in further education and training; offer families personal budgets to give them more control over their support; and require councils to publish clear and transparent ‘local offers’ of support across education, health and social care.

The consultation is an opportunity for all interested parties, who work with and support children and young people with SEN and their parents, across education, health and care, to shape the development of the Code of Practice, draft regulations and introduction of the reforms. The consultation consists of the following documents:

  • the draft 0-25 SEN Code of Practice
  • draft Regulations, and
  • proposals for transition from statements of SEN and Learning Difficulty Assessments to Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans, and introduction of the local offer.

The documents are available on the DfE Website The consultation will run until Monday 9 December.

We would also like to draw your attention to the publication of the latest two in a series of evaluation reports on the first 18 months of the SEND pathfinder programme. The documents are available at www.gov.uk/government/publications

Please do pass on details of these documents to your partners and wider networks.
