SEND & Alternative Provision Green Paper Consultation
SEND & Alternative Provision Green Paper Consultation-(Click here)
The outcome of the SEND review, the SEND and alternative provision green paper, was published on 29 March. The green paper sets out proposals for a system that offers “children and young people the opportunity to thrive, with access to the right support, in the right place, and at the right time, so they can fulfil their potential and lead happy, healthy and productive adult lives". It proposes to do this by: • creating a single, national SEND and alternative provision system• providing excellent provision from early years to adulthood• introducing a reformed and integrated role for alternative provision, for children who can’t attend mainstream school, whether for behavioural, health or other needs• reforming system roles, funding and accountability
