Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children with SEND are not in formal education in (a) Romford constituency and (b) the London Borough of Havering as of 13 October 2023.

The department holds data on the number of children and young people with an Education, Health and Care plan, including the setting in which the child or young person is typically educated or where they are not in education or training for any reason. The information is included in the National Statistics publication, which is available at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/education-health-and-care-plans. The data is only available at local authority level.
