In March, the government published its SEND and Alternative Provision Improvement Plan. A follow-up to last year’s green paper on SEND reform which concluded the SEND
Review, the Improvement Plan set out which of the proposals in the green paper the Department for Education intends to implement.

One of the steps in this plan is the SEND Change Programme - a national programme to test some of the changes the Government wants to make. It is being delivered by “Change
Programme Partnerships” in each of the nine regions of England, each led by at least one named local authority. (Includes Swindon)

In the new article by IPSEA, SEND Change Programme: what you need to know, they set out which local authorities are involved.
