Introduce independent accountability for SEND system failures
Children across England are being failed by the SEND system, including EHCP provision not delivered and children left without suitable education. There is no independent mechanism to investigate failures or ensure accountability when SEND duties are not met.

Background
Families across England are living through serious failures in the SEND system, including EHCP provision not being delivered and children left without suitable education or support. When these failures occur there is no single independent mechanism to investigate systemic failures or ensure accountability. Children and families should not be left to carry the consequences when the systems designed to support them fail.
