Overview

The government has published a green paper on the future of the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision (AP) system and is undertaking a public consultation on the green paper’s proposals.

The government is committed to improving outcomes for children and young people with SEND and those in alternative provision and is working with children, young people, parents, carers and those who advocate and work with them, as well as local and national system leaders, to achieve this ambition.

How to get involved

People are encouraged to reflect on the proposals set out in this green paper and respond to the consultation to help to ensure every child and young person with SEND and those in alternative provision can thrive and be well prepared for adult life.
