SEND REFORMS:
KEY DETAILS
The aim of the SEND reforms was to allow parents to have more
involvement in the decisions that affect them and their child. The law
regarding who is eligible for an EHC plan did not change as part of the
reforms. However, the reforms required that EHC plans were finalised
within 20 weeks of the request for an assessment.
Wider Choice of Schools
As a result of the reforms, an im-
proved choice of schools became
available for those on ECH plans.
The choice widened to include
some specialist providers and inde-
pendent schools for which parents
and children could make a request.
Higher Education Support
Following the reforms, students
have continued to have a compre-
hensive assessment regarding the
support they need. The EHC plan
can be used to identify these needs
but in higher education it’s not stat-
utory.
The Role of SENCos
The reforms stated that every SEN-
Co would be qualified to support
other teaching staff to ensure indi-
vidual pupils’ needs are addressed
and develop their expertise. The
SEND Code of Practice makes it
clear that every teacher should be
viewed as a teacher of children with
special educational needs.
Following the reforms, students have con-
tinued to have a comprehensive assessment
regarding the support they need. The EHC
plan can be used to identify these needs but
in higher education it’s not statutory.
“
As a result of the reforms, an improved choice of schools became availa-
ble for those on ECH plans. The choice widened to include some specialist
providers and independent schools for which parents and children could
make a request.
