Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department's SEND Review consultation published on 29 March 2022, what plans he has for (a) the frequency and method of publication of and (b) benchmarks for intervention in the event of poor performance arising from inclusion dashboards.
Answer
The proposed new inclusion dashboards aim to deliver strengthened accountability and improve transparency for parents. The local dashboards would form the basis of monitoring, planning, and improving delivery of services by the proposed local SEND partnerships and the national dashboards would give a timely, transparent national picture of how the system is performing. The government will publish a national SEND and alternative provision delivery plan setting out the government's response to the consultation and how change will be implemented in detail.
