The response to the consultation on the green paper Support and Aspiration will outline more detail about:

• the introduction of a single assessment process and Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) to replace the statutory SEN assessment and statement
• the introduction of personal budgets for parents of children who qualify for an EHCP
• greater involvement in the assessment of children's needs for the voluntary and community sector.

It is also expected to shed light on two of the green paper's more controversial proposals: the commitment to introducing a new approach to SEND identification and the proposal to remove the bias towards inclusion.
