43. How will the proposed changes to SEND provision affect UK schools?

Welcome back to another episode of the Unlearn Something pod!

Today, we share what's been happening in our classrooms, we try a new segment - Win or Bin' and we also discuss the UK government's changes to SEND provision in May/June 2025. 

There is a lot to take in and sadly, the consequences of underfunding and increasing hoop jumping for SEND pupils and their families are significant. This highlights the how systemic barriers continue to have an impact on the daily lives of young people. 

Join us for the round up!
