flag The UK plans major SEND system reforms, boosting mainstream inclusion and funding, with central control starting in 2028.

flag The UK government is set to announce major reforms to England’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, driven by rising demand affecting nearly one in five children and a projected £6bn funding gap by 2028–29. flag The plan prioritizes inclusive mainstream education from early years, with specialist placements for complex needs, backed by £3bn for mainstream places, £200m for teacher training, £1bn for school adaptations, and £5bn in council debt relief. flag Central government will take over SEND funding from 2028. flag While some Labour MPs welcome the move, concerns remain over potential erosion of legal rights tied to Education, Health and Care Plans, which have risen 166% since 2015. flag Stakeholders stress that success depends on adequate funding, transparent implementation, and maintaining public trust.
