The Government will struggle to address the crisis in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) with current spending plans, a report by the Institute for Government (IfG) think-tank has warned.

Education, Health and Care Plans have more than doubled over the past nine years and the IfG has predicted high needs spending will hit £13bn in 2028-29 – 93% higher than in 2012-13.
