Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Curriculum and Assessment Review will take autistic children into account.

The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review is looking closely at the key challenges to attainment for young people and the barriers which hold children back from the opportunities and life chances they deserve.

Throughout the Review, the impact and experiences of children and young people, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds and with special educational needs, are being considered to ensure the curriculum works for all children.

The Review’s final report and recommendations will be published shortly. The government will then consider the recommendations and its response.
