The NNPCF welcomes the new Best Start in Life Strategy and its recognition of the challenges many families of children with SEND face in accessing Early Years placements. We are pleased to see a strong focus on the importance of child development during the Early Years, including for those with SEND. The SEND specialists within family hubs offers a much-needed opportunity for accessible early support for families, which we view as a positive step forward. Embedding SEND training and early identification into the strategy will help promote inclusive practice across all Early Years settings.
