‘As many will be aware, the Policy Paper, “Every child achieving and thriving”, published in February 2026, proposes a number of changes to the Special Educational Needs (“SEN”) system, including a tiered support system, individual support plans and specialist packages of support. However, the Children and Families Act 2014 remains the primary legislation governing SEN and continues to be the basis for any request for an Education Health and Care Plan. The definitions in the act continue to apply to decisions being made.’
