(UK) Hackney: "Significant rise in demand" for SPED; predicted to continue

Jan 12, 2024, Hackney.gov: New Additional Resource Provisions for children with special needs to be created in Hackney https://news.hackney.gov.uk/new-additional-resource-provisions-for-children-with-special-needs-to-be-created-in-hackney/

London

Hackney Council is consulting on proposals to create three new Additional Resource Provisions (ARPs) at three schools in the borough, which would see 78 additional places made available for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND):

Proposal to create an ARP for Early Years at Comet Nursery School & Children’s Centre (24 places);

Proposal to create an ARP for Speech, Language and Communication Needs at Sebright Primary School (24 places);

Proposal to create an ARP for Social, Emotional & Mental Health Needs at Stoke Newington School & Sixth Form (30 places)

This is in response to the significant rise in the demand for places for children and young people with SEND observed in recent years in Hackney and across London.
In recent years, there has been a significant increase of children and young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) in Hackney. This upward trend is predicted to continue and is also being seen across London.
Just in the last two years, the number of Hackney children and young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) increased by 18.5 percent (from 2,645 in 2021 to 3,243 in 2023). In February 2023, the percentage of resident 0-24 year olds in Hackney with an EHCP was the second highest among statistical neighbours (4%), and the 9th highest across England.

ARPs offer additional focused and specialist support for children with SEND within a mainstream school environment. They are designed to meet the needs of children with a higher level of need, and will often have dedicated classrooms and other facilities within the school, as well as qualified SEND professionals. Children typically spend part of their time in the ARP and the remaining time with their mainstream peers in class. Children are allocated based on need and by the Council’s Education, Health and Care Panel.

Hackney has one of the highest percentages of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities across the country - and many of our local families are also struggling with the everyday challenges of the cost of living crisis.

We want to make sure that in these times of exceptional need we do everything in our power as a local authority to provide high quality, timely and sustainable support to those who need it most, despite the challenges we face due to insufficient central government funding.

The current proposals demonstrate our commitment to create 300 additional places for children with SEND by 2026. They are an important step towards ensuring that all children in Hackney have access to the educational provision they need in order to live a happy, fulfilled life.

Ronald Reagan is burning in the eternal lake of fire (of sulfur and brimstone), forever, he's NOT in Heaven. For the idolatry of patriotism (Columbia worship) alongside allowing the 1986 Act to create the absolute worst childhood (and adulthood) health crisis known as 'neurodiversity/neurodivergence', not only in the U.S., but also in Japan, Britain, Australia, and almost all countries, even the 'less popular' ones not well-known to the average American. It wouldn't surprise me if Ronald Reagan was a 33rd degree 'gentleman's club' member, as Trump is a Scottish Rite F.M., and the Presbyterian Church adores and is in bed with Catholicism, Zio.ni.sm and Fre.emaso.nry/the occult.
