Charity warns SEND reforms may remove children’s legal protections

What happened: New reforms to England's special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system were announced recently. A charity has expressed concern that these changes could reduce legal safeguards for children.

Why it matters:

  • Children with special educational needs may lose important legal rights.
  • Parents and carers might face challenges in securing appropriate support.

MNN Take: The proposed SEND reforms aim to update the system, but concerns highlight the need to balance efficiency with maintaining protections for vulnerable children.
