A major reform of teacher training for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) is set to launch, marking the most extensive overhaul in the sector’s history. The changes aim to improve the quality and consistency of support for educators working with children who have additional needs, addressing long-standing concerns about preparation and expertise. New standards and frameworks will be introduced to ensure trainees receive specialized knowledge and practical skills. Schools and training providers are being urged to prepare for the shift, which could reshape how future SEND teachers are equipped to meet the challenges of their roles.
