SEND review: right support, right place, right time

We're seeking views on our green paper about the changes we want to make to the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision (AP) system in England.

Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail

The government is committed to improving outcomes for children and young people with SEND and those in alternative provision.

To achieve this ambition we want to work with and hear from:

  • children and young people
  • parents and carers
  • those who advocate and work with the SEND sector
  • local and national system leaders

We encourage you to consider the proposals set out in this green paper and respond to our consultation.

Together, we can ensure every child and young person with SEND and those in alternative provision can thrive and be well prepared for adult life.

A separate summary covering the SEND and AP green paper and responding to the consultation is also available.

If you would like a Braille or audio version of the green paper or an accessible format that is not listed, email SENDreview.consultation@education.gov.uk.
