'Huge task': MPs to look at special educational needs reform in England

Parents frustrated by the multiple failings of England's special educational needs and disabilities (Send) system have been warned it is not realistic to expect reform to happen quickly, as MPs announced another inquiry into the crisis.

MPs on the cross-party education committee in Westminster say the latest inquiry will seek to find practical solutions rather than just identify problems. The report from the previous one, which went on for 18 months, was published in 2019.

The Labour MP Helen Hayes, who chairs the latest iteration of the committee, said they were aware this was "probably the deepest crisis" in education and children's services.

"We know that there has been a great deal of analysis of the issue," she said. "What we are hoping to do is to focus on where reform is needed, what good practice could look like and where can we learn lessons."
