10 Things the 2026 SEND Reform Consultation Doesn't Tell You (But You Need to Know)
The government's recent 120+ page SEND consultation (released February 2026) is a LOT for busy parents of SEND children to navigate - and summaries online so far are not giving a complete breakdown. This free and unique guide cuts through it all for you.
This easy-to-understand guide is the compact version of my deep dive guide for SEND families. It provides a quick break down of the main proposals in the consultation - what it means for your child, what's new, what's concerning, and what you should do right now.
Written by an award-winning advocate, former specialist and SEND teacher, and AuDHD parent who spent years battling the same systems as the families this guide is written for.
What's inside:
- Major changes to EHCPs and the introduction of Specialist Provision Packages
- The complete exclusion of home education from the consultation
- Major changes to how ADHD is categorised
- Proposed financial growth vs. reality
- Changes to oversight and complaints
- Changes for independent schools
