What happened: The UK government has mandated that secondary schools in England must create dedicated inclusion areas for neurodiverse and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. These spaces will offer support outside regular classrooms as part of a broader SEND support reform.
Why it matters:
- It aims to improve learning environments and support for pupils with additional needs.
- Schools, pupils with SEND, and their families will be directly affected by these changes.
MNN Take: Inclusion bases are designed to provide tailored support, helping SEND pupils access education more effectively while remaining part of the school community.
