Watch Lorraine Petersen speaking about her hopes for The SEND Review
**The Government published the green paper
SEND Review: Right support, right place, right time
on 29 March 2022.**
It sets out proposals for a SEND and alternative provision system that offers children and young people the opportunity to thrive, with access to the right support, in the right place, and at the right time, so they can fulfil their potential and lead happy, healthy and productive adult lives. The Department for Education is now undertaking a public consultation on the green paper’s proposals. Make sure you have your say!

What you need to know about the SEND review?
The SEND Review was launched in September 2019. Its aim was to review the SEND reforms introduced in 2014. Delayed by the global pandemic, it was finally published on 29th March 2022.
On 3 May, in a FREE live online broadcast, Lorraine outlined the content of the SEND Review and the implications for schools, young people and their families.
Lorraine’s session will cover:
- The history behind the SEND Review
- The SEND Review – what was announced?
- SEN support
- The role of the SENCO
- What it means for schools
- Q&A
What changes will the send review make?
This extract from an open letter to Parents and Carers of children and Young People with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities gives us some clues…
“Based on what we have heard and the evidence we have gathered, we know that it is important that proposals offer a way forward to reduce local variation.
We also need to improve early intervention, make clearer the support and services everyone should be able to expect, and have funding and accountability systems in place which support this.”
