The Children and Families Bill, currently in Parliament, will bring radical changes to the special educational needs (SEN) framework, subject to royal assent.
The Department for Education and the Department of Health are consulting on a draft new (age) 0 to 25 SEN code of practice.
The code is statutory guidance. They are also consulting on associated draft regulations.
The bill proposes replacing SEN statements (for schools) and learning difficulty assessments (for young people in further education and training) with single 0 to 25 education, health and care plans. They are consulting on the arrangements for the transfer to the new plans.
The consultation documents can be downloaded from the Gov.UK website.
The consultation closes on 9th December.
