SEND Reform
Changes are being proposed to the way children and young people with SEND are supported.
On this page, we have brought together the Schools White Paper 2026 and the Leeds SEND Reform Plan, so that Leeds parent carers can easily access the national proposals alongside the plans for Leeds.
You can view and download both documents below:
