Support plans for Send pupils in England may double

Schools and local authorities in England are experiencing a significant increase in applications for education, health, and care plans (EHCPs) for children with special needs, with the number projected to nearly double to about 10% of school-age children over the next few years. This surge, driven by families seeking support before upcoming government reforms, is causing financial strain on local authorities and raising concerns about the sustainability of existing special educational needs provisions. The government aims to introduce reforms that provide earlier diagnosis and support, but authorities warn that the rapid growth in EHCPs may outpace available funding and resources.
