Have your say on proposals to open more local facilities for children with special educational needs

Parents, young people, community groups and others are invited to comment on RBWM plans to open further facilities for pupils with special educational needs, which will allow even more children with special educational needs to attend a local school.

The local council is consulting on four proposed projects to enhance provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), using £1.4m from the Department for Education.

Many local children and young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are currently educated outside the borough. Expanding the local supported education offer will allow more of them to benefit from attending a school or college closer to home, if they choose.

The public consultation runs until midday on Friday 26 April. Read more about the proposed projects in the press release. For further details and to take part, click here.
