White Paper
Since last week’s publication of the White Paper our team has been attending briefing sessions to better understand its contents and potential implications. We will be holding our own sessions for members in March and April. The Consultation Period runs until May 18th.
In the meantime, the Department for Education (DfE) has published a series of clear, accessible summary guides outlining the key proposals and reforms.

These documents are designed to help parents, carers and professionals better understand what is being proposed and what it could mean for children and young people with SEND.
The guides include:
• What parents of children and young people with SEND need to know
• What to expect from your child’s journey through education
• What every parent can expect from the proposed reforms
• Guidance for parents and carers of children with EHCPs
• Guidance for families with children in special schools
• Guidance for families whose children receive SEND support in mainstream schools and colleges
If you need any help, advice or just want a supportive chat with a fellow parent, please call our support line on 01761 502 515, email or come along to one of our events.
