Sense is looking forward to working with the government on its SEN reforms because John Dickinson-Lilley, the deputy head of public policy at the deafblind charity said the current statementing system is “extremely fraught and complex.”
He said parents of deafblind children tell Sense they have to fight for up to two years to obtain a statement for their deafblind child.
Commenting on the draft legislation on the government’s draft SEN reforms John Dickinson-Lilley, said: “Sense welcomes the principles driving the draft clauses published today, however, we are deeply concerned that a legal obligation on health is not included in the proposed single plan.
“We are calling on the government to ensure the single plan for children with special education needs and disabilities is legally enforceable on education, social care and health providers.
