Education route map: Making SEN education local, affordable and resilient
Local authorities face significant challenges in providing suitable and robust Special Educational Needs (SEN) provisions.
With fiscal pressures mounting, policy reforms accelerating, and the need for sustainable education growing. Public estate leaders must act now to ensure these provisions are sustainable and resilient for years to come.
Local authorities face a cumulative deficit of £4.6 billion by March 2026, EHCP volumes are up over 60% in the past five years, and transport costs are draining local authority budgets.
Norse Group’s Education route map, Making SEN education local, affordable and resilient, is a strategic resource designed to align vision, funding, and action, positioning your estate for transformation.
Every journey must begin somewhere, take your first step towards inclusive education today.
