More money for SEND in UK National Disability Strategy
Published on the 28th July, the UK Government’s National Disability Strategy sets out its vision to improve the everyday lives of disabled people. It wants to ensure that disability is not a barrier to people living full, independent lives where they can reach their full potential.
The strategy has been developed with the input of more than 14,000 disabled people, as well as disability organisations, businesses, policy experts and many others.
In this publication, departments and agencies in every corner of government set out how they will help bring about practical and lasting change to disabled people’s lives. The strategy sets out 100 immediate commitments supported by £1.6bn of funding alongside an ambitious agenda for future reform.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
‘Our new National Disability Strategy is a clear plan – from giving disabled people the best start in school to unlocking equal job opportunities, this strategy sets us on a path to improve their everyday lives.’
The strategy is focused on improving inclusion in the workplace, tackling the disability employment gap and making sure children with special educational needs and disabilities are
at the heart of the strategy, including investing £300 million to create places, improve existing provision in schools and make accessibility adaptations for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
The Disability Strategy marks the first cross-government endeavour to improve disabled people’s everyday lives with legislation, policy and funding from across all corners of government.
Minister for Disabled People Justin Tomlinson said:
‘We are absolutely committed to putting disabled people at the heart of government policy making and service delivery. Their voices, insights and experiences are central to this strategy and our future approach. By engaging disabled people, their families, carers and organisations, collectively we will deliver real and lasting change.’
