Acknowledged
Mainstream and specialist SEND data remains limited and inconsistent for planning.
Conclusion
The data currently collected and available to the DfE on both mainstream and specialist SEND need is limited and inconsistent. Comprehensive data at the local, regional and national level is essential to assessing the sufficiency of capacity and determining funding allocations for education settings. (Conclusion, Paragraph 321)
