The Government has announced plans to strengthen inspection law so schools are assessed on how they support children with SEN and disabilities.
Ed Balls, Secretary of State at the DCSF, said “The most recent evidence shows that schools are continuing to improve the progress made by children with special educational needs, but more can be done.
