Minister Vicky Ford MP, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Children and Families, has written an open letter to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), their parents/carers and families, and all others who support them.

The letter details guidance about how the Department of Education is working to meet the needs of children and young people with SEND during this challenging time. It includes links to guidance on supporting vulnerable children, along with guidance on isolation actions for children and young people who live in residential settings.
