Nasen is passionate about improving the quality of special needs provision in the UK. Let's work together to help everyone achieve.

Special Educational Needs Information Act – Overview

Having begun to digest the information in the document, the following points have already stood out:

Boys two and half times more likely to have statement at primary school and three times more likely at secondary school

Pupils at school action plus seven times more likely to receive fixed term exclusion and twenty times more likely to have permanent exclusion

73% of looked after children have identified SEND

Most common primary needs for those with statement were autistic spectrum disorder and moderate learning difficulties

We have used this information to feed into the nasen Live programme, and it will be interesting to see how the new SEND White Paper will seek to tackle these recurring issues.
