Establish National Taskforce to Deliver Inclusive, Joined up SEND Reform

We think that you can’t fix SEND by splitting health from education.

Right now, there’s no national taskforce connecting the dots between schools, health services, and families. As major reforms move ahead at speed, we think families are being left out, and there are no clear guarantees that vital legal protections will remain in place. We’re calling for a national SEND, Health and Education Taskforce that brings departments together, centres lived experience, and ensures no child is lost between systems that were never meant to work alone.
