PAC SEND Report: Urgent reform needed

EMBARGO: 00.01 15th January 2025

Responding to the PAC report on SEND provision, Munira Wilson MP, Liberal Democrat Education Spokesperson, said: 

"This report lays bare what we already knew to be the dire truth: that a wrecked system of SEND provision in this country is failing children and families every single day. 

"And thanks to the last government's total lack of action, local council budgets have become sinkholes for the SEND funding crisis - a ticking time bomb that will only last so much longer.

"We urgently need reform. This Government must listen to Liberal Democrat calls and establish a National Body for SEND now."
