SEND Review: Right support, Right place, Right time

The SEND and alternative provision (AP) green paper set out the government’s proposals for a system that offers children and young people 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.

Children, young people and their families as well as those that support them across the SEND and AP system were encouraged to reflect on the proposals and respond to the consultation by Friday 22 July 2022.

Thank you to everyone who shared their views and experiences through our focus groups and surveys, helping us ensure that our organisational response represented the voice of our membership.
