The government has published the schools white paper, Every child achieving and thriving, and the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) consultation document, SEND reform: putting children and young people first.

We have written some shorter, simpler documents that provide more information about the schools white paper and SEND consultation. They are for:

• parents
• schools
• colleges
• local authorities

Further information for parents and carers of children and young people with SEND is available in:

• SEND reform: education otherwise than at school
• Upfront funding for mainstream schools: creating a ‘local SEND inclusion formula’
• Experts at Hand: what parents of children and young people with SEND need to know
