NegativeWorld Affairs

A recent survey by Parentkind reveals that one in three UK parents have sought special needs assessments for their children, highlighting a significant increase in demand for support in schools. This surge comes at a time when many parents are also facing financial strain, with 33% reporting difficulties related to their children's special educational needs. The findings raise concerns about the adequacy of current special needs provisions in England, especially as national reforms are being considered amidst rising costs and a shortage of dedicated school placements.
