Have we responded/are we responding? I think there are an awful lot of problems with the proposals in the SEND White Paper which involves a significant reduction in children's rights, and if we don't respond it will be taken that we agree.

There are useful summaries here - https://sossen.org.uk/send-reform/white-paper/ and here - https://www.ipsea.org.uk/pages/category/schools-white-paper-what-you-need-to-know and you can find the consultation document here - SEND reform: putting children and young people first . You don't have to respond to every question.

There are also various resources to help in answering, e.g.

You can also respond by email to [email protected]

And by post to SENDAP reform, Sanctuary Buildings, Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BT.
