SEND Reforms 2014
Children who have less serious problems but still need support will lose out under
the new system
• False There is no change to the definition of SEN, so we would not expect that those children with less serious problems will lose out on support or resources. The reforms to the SEN system are about making sure that every pupil with a barrier to learning has this swiftly and effectively identified and the right support, including external support, put in place

Quotes from professionals• The family centred and child centred nature of the MSPs and
EHCPs is fantastic, and will I'm sure change the focus of how we make provision for children, and give parents ownership, break down barriers etc
• The very positive aspects of the plans are the contributions they facilitate from young people. I have been stunned by the detail and perceptiveness of my students in analysing their own needs and for me this is by far the most positive thing about the EHCPs so far.
• I am sure there will be lots more issues as we trial the plans but my verdict is despite the workload they are definitely worth it, a huge improvement and a much more holistic way of working with young people. Thank you to everyone for their support so far.
