What happened: Five ex-education secretaries have jointly called on Labour MPs to support planned reforms to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision in England, describing it as a rare opportunity to improve the system.
Why it matters:
- The reforms aim to address longstanding issues in SEND support for children and young people.
- Labour backing could influence the success and implementation of these changes across English schools.
MNN Take: The joint appeal highlights cross-party recognition of challenges in SEND education, emphasising the importance of political consensus to enact meaningful improvements.
