The Children’s Commissioner has published a briefing that details five things that people should know about special education needs (SEN) in schools. A review of the special education needs and disabilities (SEND) was supposed to be published in 2020, but was delayed due to coronavirus (COVID-19). The main focus of the briefing is the extent to which SEN are met in schools and the implications of these findings on the SEND Review that is now due to be published in 2021.
