The plan is: to change the duties to educate to meet children’s educational requirements to a ‘reasonable endeavours’ duty. I.e. it will no longer be a legal requirement!
The Sectary of State will have the power to disapply Section 43 of the Children and Families Act. This is the duty on schools and other institutions to name - to admit a child, where they are named in a child’s EHC Plan or a college for a young person.
Please act now and write /email your MP before this Monday 23 March.
