A few facts about SEN for you today that we've made into this spiffing infogram.
The figures are taken from a Department for Education guidance document aimed at helping local authorities prepare for the coming changes to the SEN system and how to implement them.
What thoughts does it spark in you? Leave them in the comments.

Their own figures support a long view approach yet the LAs on the ground are being squeezed and or taking a adversarial approach to parents trying to give their children lifelong independence skills. Thank you for a succinct illustration Tania and Debby. Hannah x

Yes, let’s invest in creating independence early on.

This was great to read – proves that investment in the early years not only saves money but improves quality of life for those with special needs. A great summary of fact that should steer educators in the right direction
Can I ask about your figures on incidence of mental health issues? I can’t find the reference in Gov doc. Most research shows far greater incidence in those with leArning disabilities and other SEN. Annie
