SEND Green Paper

The Derbyshire Parent Carer Voice survey is now closed so we are able to put together our response to the national consultation which closes on the 22nd of July. You are able to contribute to the national consultation until then.

The government has published a green paper (discussion document) on the future of the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision system.

You can read the proposals here (Over 100 pages long)
