June update on the East Riding SEND Reform Plan

Thursday, 23 July 2026

East Riding’s final SEND Reform Plan was sent to the Department for Education on 19 June 2026.

This plan sets out how services will work together over the next three years to improve support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

The plan focuses on:

  • identifying children and young people’s needs earlier
  • supporting schools and settings to meet needs well
  • improving access to specialist advice and support
  • increasing local provision, so more children and young people can be supported closer to home
  • working more closely with families, schools, health and other partners

We would like to say a big thank you to all the families, schools, settings and partners who shared their views and helped shape the plan.

What happens next?
The Department for Education will now review the plan.

Once we receive feedback, we will share a further update. If the plan is approved, we will begin putting it into action.

This will include developing new ways for schools and settings to access specialist support, improving inclusive practice, and continuing to work with families and partners as the plan moves forward.
