A SENCO’s Guide to the White Paper SEND Reforms 2026 The SEND system in England is changing — and for SENCOs, this isn’t just another policy update. It’s a structural reset. Following the publication of Every Child Achieving and Thriving (2026), the Department for Education set out a ten-year vision for reforming inclusion, funding, accountability and specialist provision. For Special Educational Needs Coordinators, this White Paper marks one of the most significant shifts in SEND practice in over a decade. But what does it actually mean for schools? A SENCO’s Guide to the White Paper SEND Reforms 2026 translates national reform into practical school leadership. Written specifically for SENCOs, senior leaders and inclusion teams, this book: Breaks down what is changing — and what remains legally the same Explains the new graduated response expectations Clarifies funding reforms and national banding implications Unpacks accountability and Ofsted alignment Explores the evolving role of EHCPs Provides step-by-step implementation guidance Offers templates, audit tools and strategic planning frameworks Grounded in real-world SENCO experience, this guide recognises the daily tension between statutory duty, limited budgets, parental expectations and rising need. It does not offer theory alone — it provides structured, actionable systems that can be implemented immediately in mainstream primary and secondary settings. Whether you are: A new SENCO navigating reform for the first time An experienced inclusion leader preparing your school for inspection A headteacher seeking clarity on strategic SEND direction Or a local authority professional supporting schools Duration - 15m.
