White paper bundle for Early Years

White paper bundle for Early Years

The Government’s Schools White Paper aims to put inclusion first. It outlines plans to reform the support children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) get at school so that every child or young person can have the best start in life. This includes things like a £1.6 billion fund to boost inclusion in mainstream settings, new individual support plans, and more.

There’s a lot of information to get to grips with. That’s why we’ve put together our white paper learning bundles. These collections of resources are designed to help you feel ready for the upcoming changes. They focus on speech, language, and communication skills. These are the building blocks of learning, emotional wellbeing and social development throughout education.

There are free and paid-for resources available, tailored to educators like you. They include tools and strategies you can use straight away. You’ll learn about how you can support all children and young people’s speech and language development at the universal level, adapt support for those at targeted and targeted plus levels, and more.
