NASS Manifesto 2024

#NASSManifesto2024

The SEND system is failing far too many children and young people, as well as the special schools entrusted with their education and care.

The upcoming general election presents an opportunity to push for much-needed change.

We believe that to protect children and young people with SEND now and into the future, we need urgent action during the first 100 days of a new government to remove barriers and build a better SEND system. Regardless of which party emerges victorious on election day, they must heed the call to take swift action and build a modern SEND system founded on partnership and co-production.

It is time for children and young people with SEND to have their needs placed at the centre of policy.

 

Our manifesto calls on the next government to take six key actions within its first 100 days in office.
