With a government advisory board reviewing policy and a Children’s Wellbeing Bill on the horizon, bold reform is needed. At Outcomes First Group, we believe in proactive rather than crisis-driven support—empowering teachers, parents, and professionals to address challenges early. Our new report, Early Intervention, Lifelong Impact, outlines five key recommendations for a better SEND system: - Redesign the EHCP process - Deliver specialist SEND training for educators - Expand flexible learning options - Support reintegration into mainstream schools - Strengthen local SEND information services Now is the time for change. We stand ready to work with Government and policymakers to create a sustainable, effective system that truly meets the needs of children and families. Read the full report here.
