What happens next?
The Government will review consultation responses before bringing forward its next proposals. Any legislation must then pass through Parliament, with scrutiny in both the House of Commons and House of Lords before it can become law.
That means there is still time to make sure children's needs, legal rights and access to specialist support remain part of the discussion.
Why email your MP now?
MPs hear from constituents on many different issues. When parents, carers and professionals take the time to share their experiences, it helps MPs understand the real impact of SEND policy in their local area. We want them to hear your voice and to get this right.
Currently the government's approach is on track to result in a number of unintended consequences. So an email can help remind decision-makers that:
- 1Children's needs must come first
- 2Parents and young people must be heard
- 3The right support must be available in the right setting
- 4Legal rights and routes to challenge must be protected
- 5Changes to the SEND system must avoid unintended harm
