In this episode of SEN Talks, we take a deep dive into the Government’s proposed SEND White Paper reforms; what they say, what they mean, and what they could mean for families in practice.

Drawing on our experience working with parents, schools, and charities across the country, we break down:

• The background and motivation behind the reforms
• The proposed four-tier system of support
• Changes to Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs)
• The introduction of “specialist provision packages"
• Potential impacts on parental rights and access to tribunals
• The shift towards school-led complaints and legal challenges

We also explore the wider concerns being raised by parents, charities, and professionals, particularly around whether these changes could reduce individualised support and increase barriers to justice.

Importantly, these proposals are not yet law. This episode helps you understand what’s being suggested now, what could change, and what to watch out for next.

Whether you’re a parent, educator, or professional in the SEND space, this is a must-listen breakdown of one of the most significant proposed changes to the SEN system in years.
