The Welsh
Government is seeking views on proposals to reform the legislative framework
for special educational needs (SEN).
Start
of consultation: 26/06/2012
End
of consultation: 19/10/2012
The legislation surrounding the SEN framework is over 30 years old and
there is plenty of evidence across Wales to prove it needs reforming.
Welsh Government are proposing to replace the statutory framework for
the assessment and planning of provision for children and young people with SEN
with a simpler, more person centred and integrated system for children and
young people with additional needs (AN). It is believed that this will;
·
lead to increased trust and confidence of parents and carers in the
system
·
provide greater consistency between schools and local authorities, and
·
foster more effective partnerships between agencies.
Central to the proposals is the Individual Development Plan (IDP) which
is proposed to replace the existing statements of SEN.
A multi-agency approach is proposed with joined up working between
education, health and social care agencies (including the third sector where
relevant) for children and young people with the most severe and/or complex
needs.
