Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when her Department plans to publish the responses it received to the public consultation on the SEND and AP Provision Green Paper.

The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Alternative Provision (AP) Green Paper consultation closed on 22 July 2022. The department is currently reviewing the feedback, and using this, along with continued engagement with the system, to inform the next stage of delivering improvements for children, young people and their families.

The department is committed to publishing a full response to the green paper in an Improvement Plan early in 2023.

The department will continue to support the system to deliver change and continue to improve the experience and outcomes for children and young people with SEND and those who need AP.
