The UK government is taking significant steps to address the challenges in special educational needs provision, with pledges including an £850 million fund to create 60,000 more school places for children with special educational needs. This initiative aims to improve facilities, expand specialist provision, and ensure easier access to child trust funds for children with disabilities. Various councils and individuals, such as Bristol City Council, Leeds parents, and a mother affected by autism charity cuts, are involved in the ongoing efforts to enhance special needs services.
