Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the relative work and pay conditions of employees (1) with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and (2) without SEND.

The post-16 education and labour market activities, pathways and outcomes report, published in May 2021, uses the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) administrative data set to explore the pattern and nature of the pathways that people take from completing school, through their education and into the labour market. This is broken down by a number of key characteristics including special education need. The report can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/post-16-education-and-labour-market-activities-pathways-and-outcomes-leo, and the dashboard can be found here: https://department-for-education.shinyapps.io/leo-post16education-labourmarket/.

The dashboard provides information on educational and labour market activities, including earnings, employment rates and out-of-work benefits uptake, for up to 15 years after leaving school.
