Upfront funding for mainstream schools: creating a ‘local SEND inclusion formula’ – what parents and carers of children and young people need to know

# data[].attributes.body
One in 3 children are identified as having special educational needs (SEN) at some point in their education, but many of these children and young people are not getting the support they need to achieve and thrive.

The government has consulted on plans to address this by ending the postcode lottery of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) support, boosting early identification of needs and creating a more inclusive mainstream system that delivers high standards for all.

As we consider the responses to our overarching SEND reform consultation, we’re now asking your views on whether mainstream schools should get more of their SEND funding upfront – before children need extra support – rather than having to apply for it later.

The Solihull Approach was created within the NHS, and its foundations remain firmly grounded in public health values. It integrates key psychological and psychoanalytic theories — containment, reciprocity and behaviour — into a simple yet powerful model that supports emotional development and relational health. Its core principles are:

Understanding behaviour as communication

Understanding relationships as the foundation for development

Promoting emotional containment

Fostering reflective practice

Building resilience through connection

We are working hard to destigmatise accessing information and ongoing learning about mental health and about being a parent. In partnership with local authorities, health trusts and passionate advocates, we promote emotional awareness and care for every child.

We’re here as a hand to hold through parenting to build confidence and nurture relationships for better outcomes for children and families. To make a difference, we aim to reach one million UK parent learners by 2028 with our online reflective learning offer.

Oldham’s SEND Local Offer (OSLO) is an online resource that details services, support and guidance available to children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) aged 0-25 and their families.

You can search a range of activities, information, advice and support opportunities so why not take a look and REMEMBER if you can’t find what you are looking for, use the feedback link on the website as it is always being reviewed to ensure Oldham families have access to appropriate services for children and young people with SEND.

Important Update shared with us.

Oldham Council and the Greater Manchester Integrated Care Board have been notified that an Area SEND Monitoring Visit will be taking place across the Local Area Partnership from Monday 24 November to Wednesday 26 November 2025. This inspection will be conducted jointly by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) consisting of three inspectors.

The focus of the Area SEND Monitoring Visit will be to assess the extent to which the Local Area Partnership has taken effective action to address the areas for priority action, which the partnership has been delivering to improve SEND provision in Oldham, following the Area SEND Inspection in June 2023. The inspection team may have discussions, children and young people, parents, and carers.

For further information, the guidance documents can be found at the link above, which provide information on what to expect during an Area SEND inspection and these are also available in Easy Read and BSL.

As we know it’s more important than ever to understand the dangers of social media. While online platforms can be fun and educational, they also expose children and young people to serious risks such as cyberbullying, online predators, inappropriate content, and privacy breaches. By staying informed and involved, you can help your child build safe and positive online habits. The following information contains essential guidance on how to keep your child or young person safe online — empowering you to protect their wellbeing and support them as they navigate the digital world.

Thank you to Nicola Nelson from Newbridge College for providing us with these e-safety guides.
