MPs told SEND system is in crisis

The f40 campaigning group, which represents the 40 or so worst educationally funded councils in England, recently held a meeting with more than 75 MPs and their representatives at a parliamentary briefing in Westminster. Also involved were the Local Government Association (LGA), and the County Councils Network (CCN). MPs were told that the number of children receiving SEND support has more than doubled in recent years – while funding and resources have failed to keep pace.
