This is for families in England only.

The Public Accounts Committee’s inquiry into support for children with special educational needs has opened its call for evidence.

The Public Accounts Committee examines whether the government is getting value for money for the work it’s doing. This inquiry aims to establish whether the government’s spending on special education is delivering the results children need. Recently, the National Audit Office found that the SEN system in England is in urgent need of reform.

Based on this, the inquiry is now looking at the following:

  • Performance of the system.
  • The overall picture on the support available and outcomes achieved for those with SEN.
  • Government action to create a sustainable SEN system and restore confidence.

As well as asking Department for Education (DfE) officials, the Committee is inviting the public to submit evidence by Monday 11 November.
