Special Educational Needs
Monday 29th January 2018

Asked by: Gordon Henderson (Conservative - Sittingbourne and Sheppey)

Question to the Department for Education:

What steps his Department is taking to improve support for children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Answered by Nadhim Zahawi

We have been strengthening the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities system through the biggest programme of reforms in a generation. We have legislated to improve the system and have invested £341 million since 2014 to help ensure the reforms make a real difference. We will continue to build on this, so that every child has the chance to fulfil their potential.
