Woman’s Hour in collaboration with our SEND in the Spotlight podcast brings you a special programme on the impact of the government’s SEND reforms in England.
Whether you’re a parent, a young person, a teacher or someone who works in the wider system we find out what the changes mean for you – and help you decode the new language – whether it’s IB, ISP, Targeted, Targeted Plus, or SPP.
Nuala McGovern speaks to parents, teachers, charities, the School Standards Minister and the Children’s Commissioner for England. We also hear from SEND in the Spotlight podcast regulars – actors Anna Maxwell Martin and Kellie Bright.
