Description

The UK government unveils a £3 billion plan to create 50,000 new SEND places in mainstream schools, canceling some free schools to fund this initiative. The funding will support councils in adapting existing buildings and creating specialized spaces, reducing travel for SEND pupils. With nearly 1.7 million SEND pupils, this move aims to address growing demand and improve local outcomes.
