Chris pushes for early intervention on SEND NEETS

Alan Milburn’s recent report says that young people with SEND are 80% more likely to be NEET (not in education, employment, or training). More than 1 million people aged 16-24 are NEET- a staggering human and economic cost. A system built on effective early intervention, rigorous accountability and legally enforceable rights would better support young people with SEND to contribute to society, ultimately costing less in the long run. More crucially however, it would save lives.
