Driver Youth Trust commissioned LKMco to undertake research into the impact the Children and Families Act (2014) has had on those with SEND in the education system, one year on.
Driver Youth Trust aim is to improve young people’s opportunities for success in life, recognising that literacy is a key element to this. Having the ability to read and write fluently is not only essential from a personal point of view, but has wide-reaching social and economic effects. The new Act, therefore, presented both an opportunity for Driver Youth Trust to reflect on the education and SEND landscape and current practice, and a challenge as to how best to respond to developments that have taken place under this new system.
