Public Accounts Committee Inquiry – our submission

The Public Accounts Committee has started an inquiry entitled Support for children and young people with special educational needs, it follows their earlier inquiry in 2020 which found that many children with special educational needs (SEN) were being failed by the system of support. In addition the National Audit Office published a report earlier in October which highlighted the financial crisis in the sector, as well as its failure to deliver education. Voice for Learners submitted evidence to the inquiry (anonymously) which can be found here. Some of the team attended the Oral Evidence session on the 18th November.
