The government is consulting on proposed changes to the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) system in England, which could affect how children receive support in school. A key proposal is a digital Individual Support Plan (ISP) outlining each child’s needs, support, and progress.

This consultation is a vital opportunity for families to share their experiences and influence decisions. We’re gathering views to make sure parents and carers of dyslexia children and young people are heard.

Please help us shape a system that better supports your child by taking a few moments to answer some short questions about these proposals.
