Reform the curriculum and fix the SEND crisis with urgent, cross-party action.
Government and Parliament should work together on long-term, cross-party reforms to address the SEND crisis, fund multi-billion deficits sustainably, and modernise the curriculum from EYFS to tertiary so it meets diverse needs and supports every learner effectively.

Background
Government and Parliament must urgently address the SEND crisis as councils face a projected multi-billion-pound High Needs deficit, with forecasts indicating a £6.3 billion shortfall as SEND funding becomes centralised. Without long-term, cross-party reform and sustainable investment, the system risks financial failure and continued unmet needs for children.
