Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Education on SEND provision.

We are working across government and the sector to ensure children and young people with SEND receive the right support to succeed, in mainstream schools where possible.

High needs funding will increase by almost £1bn in 2025-26, compared to 2024-25. We have announced £740 million of capital funding to create more specialist places in both mainstream and special schools.
