Education Committee Chair comments on SEND funding in Autumn Budget

Responding to announcements in today's Autumn Budget, Education Committee Chair Helen Hayes MP said:

“The uplift in funding to support children with special educational needs and disabilities is welcome, given the crisis impacting on children, families and local authorities across the country. But more work will be needed to address this deep-seated issue. My cross-party colleagues stand ready to investigate how the Department for Education can make the most of this new support.”
