Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department has made an assessment of the availability and access to hydrotherapy on provision for children with SEND.
The department does not collect data on the availability of hydrotherapy. Local authorities are statutorily required to keep the provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities under review, including its sufficiency. Local authorities work with parents, young people, and providers to achieve this. Keeping this provision under review would include the availability of specialist facilities such as hydrotherapy provision.
