London SEND roundtable brings councils together to share insight on reform What councils are saying about SEND reform. Key insights from our London roundtable on funding, ISPs and needs-led approaches ahead of May submissions.

Last week we brought #SEND leaders from councils together in London for a roundtable. The conversation was open, practical & grounded in what’s really happening right now - not theory. Read our insights: www.imosphere.com/post/send-reform-roundtable-insights

We look forward to welcoming councils across England to our SEND Practice & Reform Round Table Event today. It’s set to be a fantastic day of sharing insight and collaboration between councils.

There might be more children in special schools now than ever but to say we've become less inclusive is misleading. The Warnock Report was published nearly 50 years ago and much has changed, although not with the SEND system! #send #senco #SENDreform #inclusion #education #schools #whitepaper

Book a free 1-hour consultation with our expert outreach team to explore practical, strategic ways to enhance inclusion.

The government’s “generational” reforms to the SEND system will increase the proportion of children in “specialist” placements over the next nine years, despite ministers claiming they are moving towards more “mainstream inclusion”.

I've come across the phrase "glitter on a t*rd" to describe this document (wasn't me, honest). Also saw a worrying interview with minister on TV (not answering the direct question of whether children will lose their #EHCPs).
Arrogance, refusal to listen and total lack of understanding.
#SENDReform

You even covered the that the last possible date for the next general election is 15th August 2029, and those EHCP transfers begin in September 2029.

Great article #SendReform

So if your given a ISP. Can you challenge it at a SEND Tribunal??
Looks like you can't for the content of the ISP

internal school process
local council complaints
local ombudsman
Ofsted
Equality Act

No sign of send tribunal i think for ISP. Downgrade but maybe more details elsewhere

We have moved to a near corner with a wtf look asking how will that work. #Oddsock not in corner grumping but not entirely happy tbh #SENDReform.

Basically he has questions. Lots.

Double Disadvantage? - The Sutton Trust Uncovering inequalities in access to support within the SEND system.

NEW Sutton Trust research shows children with SEND from low-income families are twice disadvantaged: more likely to need support but less likely to get it — and they have weaker outcomes at 16. #SENDReform must tackle inequality, not just paperwork. 👉 www.suttontrust.com/our-research...

🔈️ The Together Trust will continue working with sector partners, including the Disabled Children's Partnership and the NW Regional Stakeholder Network, to champion reforms that prioritise implementation and accountability.

Parents in England fear losing support for disabled children due to Send changes Survey by disability charity finds 45% of parents of children with complex needs ‘worried support will be taken away’
