"Universal inclusion bases are spaces away from classrooms where children with additional needs can get support for some lessons. They are seen as a key part of government plans to overhaul special educational needs and disabilities (Send) support. Ministers have been frantically promoting a vision of a more inclusive education system, ahead of the publication of a landmark schools white paper, widely seen as the most high-stakes policy reform the government has attempted since the welfare rebellion last year."
"Send provision is one of the issues MPs are most contacted about. Some fear a backlash against plans that are expected to raise the bar at which children in England qualify for an education, health and care plan, the document that legally entitles children to extra support. The inclusion bases already exist in some schools. They are part of a 3.7bn investment to redesign the system and create up to 60,000 bespoke places for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities in mainstream schools."
Secondary schools in England must provide specially designed areas for neurodiverse children and pupils with special educational needs. Universal inclusion bases are spaces away from classrooms where children with additional needs can get support for some lessons. The bases form part of a 3.7bn investment to redesign provision and create up to 60,000 bespoke places for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities in mainstream schools. They can be set up in spare classrooms or purpose-built. New guidance will set expectations for improved inclusivity and accessibility, including breakout rooms, accessible changing, sensory gardens, and better lighting, acoustics and ventilation. Some fear a backlash if thresholds for education, health and care plans are raised.
