Liberal Democrats propose a national SEND agency to address UK's postcode lottery and underfunding issues.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for a national agency to address the "postcode lottery" of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support in the UK. The proposed agency would provide additional funds for children's needs and ensure effective spending. Sir Ed Davey, the party leader and carer for his disabled son, claims that the Conservative government has underfunded both schools and local authorities, causing many parents to struggle to secure support for their children.
