Government needs to generate better evidence on SEND provision as part of the reforms The government is about to announce major changes to the SEND service, but how strong is the evidence for the principles guiding the reforms?

Findings from the HOPE study suggest the Government needs to generate better evidence on SEND provision as part of the SEND service reforms. UCL news item here: ucl.ac.uk/population-h... and full report here ijpds.org/article/view...

A recent CPRU paper in
@ijpds.bsky.social found 25% of all children living in England are recognised as a child in need by children's social care. One third are referred to children's social care at least once before 18y ijpds.org/article/view...

@rcpch.bsky.social

In a recent paper, we support a systems approach to address barriers to support for families experiencing intimate partner violence and mental health problems. There is a need to address the gap between child mental health and domestic abuse services www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

There was really high missing data in CSDS. From government statistics, we know that 79% of 2 years olds have this measure of child development collected but only 15% of children in CSDS had this data in their record.

86% of 2y olds met expected level of development with inequalities across groups.

This is important for the Government's commitment to increasing the proportion of children 'ready to learn' at age 4-5 years.
