This report assesses how well the current system is delivering for children and young people (from birth to 25 years) in England identified as having SEN. It also looks at DfE’s progress in addressing the underlying challenges to providing a sustainable system that achieves positive outcomes for children. The report finds that the Department for Education has begun implementing its 2023 improvement plan, yet significant concerns remain as to whether current actions will address the challenges facing the system. None of the stakeholders interviewed believed that the current plans would be effective.
