Headteachers in England, Wales and NI say Send provision crisis is worsening

The crisis in special needs education appears to be worsening, with nine out of 10 school leaders finding it harder to meet pupils’ needs than they did a year ago, according to a survey. Almost all (98%) of the respondents to a National Association of Head Teachers’ (NAHT) poll covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland said they did not have the resources to meet the needs of all their pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (Send).
