Special needs education supports children with special educational needs or disabilities (Send) who struggle with the national curriculum. The current system, established by the Children and Families Act 2014, is widely seen as failing. Families report excessive waiting times for assessments and inadequate support for many students, some of whom remain out of school. Local councils face crippling debts while attempting to meet rising demands. Although government funding for Send pupils has significantly increased, it is still inadequate, prompting calls for comprehensive reform of the system.
The current special needs education system in England is failing, with families reporting long waiting times for assessments and many children lacking necessary specialist support.
Funding for special educational needs pupils increased significantly, but remains insufficient to address the skyrocketing demand, contributing to local councils' financial crises.
