The government previews changes to special education provision

The Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, says the government will be spending more money, not less, on support for children with special educational needs and disabilities under plans to be unveiled tomorrow. The changes to what's known as SEND are part of a package of reforms for schools in England. Ms Phillipson moved to reassure parents that 'effective support' would not be withdrawn but the Conservatives say they have big concerns.
