The SEN Green Paper

The Government published a Green Paper on SEN and Disability in March 2011 which sets out plans for the future of services and support for children with SEN. Ambitious about Autism coordinated a joint response to the Green Paper on SEN and Disabilty consultation (PDF 460KB), which was submitted in June 2011. We ran a series of workshops for parents, and hosted an online survey, to ensure our response was based on the views of parents and young people themselves. You can read the joint briefing note (PDF 64KB) that we have produced with the National Autistic Society or read the full Green Paper.

You can contribute to a discussion on the paper by visiting the Talk about Autism community.

We continue to press Government to deliver on the positive elements of the Green Paper, such as developing the current Statement of SEN so that is covers more services, and runs right up to a young person’s 25th birthday.
