Description

Despite a 58% increase in SEND funding, outcomes for children, young people, and families have failed to improve over the past decade. Meanwhile, councils still face immense financial strain. 



💭Where is the system falling short, and what can the government do to drive real change? 



🎙️In this month’s episode of #CIPFASpeaks, we dive into the urgent reforms needed to create a fairer, more financially sustainable SEND system.  



Join Dr. William Burns, CIPFA’s Social Care Policy Advisor, and Emma Willson, Director of Education Value for Money at the National Audit Office, as they break down the key principles for reform. They explore how we can rethink funding models, improve coordination across partners, and transform the role of independent providers. 



🎧Tune in to hear expert insights on reforming SEND.
