Episode Details

Parliaments proposing a significant overhaul of special educational needs support in Leicester schools through the White Paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving. The plan aims to integrate support for children with special needs and disabilities into mainstream classrooms, reducing the need for specialist setups. The proposal targets Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), making them exclusive for children with the most complex needs in five years. While experts hail it as bold and potentially transformative, concerns are raised about the potential loss of legal protections for children if local councils fail to deliver adequate support. Leicester City Council and local trusts like Lionheart are seeking government grants and additional resources to ensure inclusive mainstream schools that meet every childs needs without compromising on rights or resources.
