We welcome the launch of the IPPR Inclusion Taskforce. With 1 in 5 children identified as having special educational needs or disabilities, inclusive reform is vital. We'll be engaging with the taskforce to ensure the 2M children with speech and language challenges are heard.
🚨Today we launch the IPPR Inclusion Taskforce, chaired by @RealGeoffBarton, to help improve SEND provision. 1 in 5 pupils has special educational needs, and far too many are being let down. We need practical solutions to ensure every child thrives. ➡️
