Background
The money boroughs pay for these specialist places should be spent on the children. One private provider has just confirmed a £44 million profit for the past year! SEN children are NOT here for providers to receive such high profits. This funding is for the children and the government need to provide strict guidelines for how the money is spent and limit providers profiting to the detriment of the children. The spending needs monitoring.
