Answer

My Department’s vision is that EVERY child and young person is happy learning and succeeding and for children who require different levels of support, it is vital that they get the right support from the right people at the right time and in the right place. The current End to End (E2E) review of Special Educational Needs (SEN) has 12 workstreams, one of those is in relation to pupil support services and part of this workstream will be examining how effective pupil support services are for children with SEN. The Review will have a focus on improving outcomes for all children with additional support needs and ensuring that they receive appropriate intervention at the earliest opportunity.
