<p>The department does not currently have plans to introduce legislation to reform
the provision of support for children with special educational needs and disabilities
(SEND).</p><p>However, the department is taking steps to ensure that every child and
young person with SEND can achieve well in education, find employment and lead a happy
and fulfilled life.</p><p>We will be investing over £700 million in additional high
needs funding to support young people with complex SEND in education. This represents
an increase of over 11% on the funding available this year, bringing the total high
needs funding budget to over £7 billion.</p><p>Furthermore, we have launched a cross-government
SEND review to improve how children and young people with SEND are supported in the
current system. In parallel with the review, we have also committed to reviewing the
SEND Code of Practice.</p>
