This just published and taken straight from DfE web site:
This report sets out a summary of the key responses to the consultation questions in Support and aspiration, current progress and our further plans for the vision in the Green Paper, in which:
- children’s special educational needs are picked up early and support is routinely put in place quickly
- staff have the knowledge, understanding and skills to provide the right support for children and young people who have SEN or are disabled, wherever they are
- parents know what they can reasonably expect their local school, local college, local authority and local services to provide, without them having to fight for it
- children who would currently have a statement of SEN and young people over 16 who would have a learning difficulty assessment have an integrated assessment and a single Education, Health and Care Plan which is completed in a shorter time and without families having the stress of searching to get the support they need
- parents have greater control over the services they and their family use, with:
- every family with an Education, Health and Care plan having the right to a personal budget for their support
- parents whose children have an education, health and care plan having the right to seek a place at any state-funded school, whether that is a special or mainstream school, a maintained school, academy or Free School.
