"That is a fair point. I know that the Defence Committee will be holding Ministers to account on single living accommodation as much as we are on SFA. They both need to improve very quickly.

The second and central point that I want to focus on is the covenant. It …..."

Written Question

Special Educational Needs: Autism

Thursday 15th January 2026

Asked by: Alex Baker (Labour - Aldershot)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to consider autistic burnout when shaping policies on SEND.

Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education)

As part of our Plan for Change, we are determined to fix the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system and restore the trust of parents. We will do this by ensuring schools have the tools to better identify and support children before issues escalate. We will bring forward a full Schools White Paper early this year, building on the work we have already done to create a system that is rooted in inclusion.

To support the development of the reforms, we are drawing on insights from experts, including the department’s Expert Advisory Group for Inclusion and the Neurodivergence Task and Finish Group, who were established to provide an expert view and make recommendations on how to best meet the needs of neurodivergent children and young people within mainstream education settings.

The department has also launched a further period of listening and engagement to strengthen co-creation, listening to children and young people, parents, experts, and education professionals across the country, so that lived experience and partnership are at the heart of the solutions.
