New NatSIP Briefing Document - SEND Review - implications for children with sensory impairment

NatSIP is pleased to announce the availability of a new briefing document collated by a number of NatSIP Partner organisations in response to the Department for Education document Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) Improvement Plan.

NatSIP would like to ensure that the needs of children and young people with SI will not be overlooked in implementation and testing during the pilots exploring changes to the SEND framework through the DfE's Change Programme. Support for children with low-incidence needs, such as SI, may look different from that for other types of need.
