SEND reform now · 2022 to 2023

SEND Review and Improvement Plan

Government set out further reform plans for SEND and alternative provision.

The system admitted it needed repair, but families still needed change in real life.

Simple version

The SEND Review Green Paper in 2022 and the SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan in 2023 set out proposals and plans to change the SEND and AP system.

Why it matters

This matters because it shows the crisis was not just being felt by families. It had become a national reform issue.

Awareverse lens

Awareverse sees this as present history. The question is whether reform language becomes real support, real placements, real accountability and real trust.

Common mistake

A common mistake is treating a reform plan as if the system has already changed.

Question to ask

Who had power here, who was left outside, and what would have changed if the human being was seen first?
