Fox Early Years Educators

The Department for Education (DfE), supported by the Early Years Alliance, is today launching a new survey on SEND provision in the early years. It aims to help the Department to better understand how well the needs of children with SEND are being met in the early years, and to gain insight into the challenges early years providers face when supporting children with SEND.

The survey, which is aimed specifically at those working in early years settings, should only take around 10-15 minutes to complete and all individual responses are anonymous. The deadline for responses is Monday 11 March 2024.
