The Education Committee held a roundtable discussion on special educational needs and disabilities, focusing on issues faced by young people with SEND post-16. The discussion is available to watch on Parliament TV here.
During the discussion, the committee heard from representatives from colleges and charities working with learners with special education needs and disabilities on the issues around post-16 education. One of the main issues to arise was the ‘postcode lottery’ of funding for post-16 SEND learners. More on the discussion can be read here.
