A postcode lottery of SEND provision? Analysing and explaining variability in the education of children with SEND since the Children and Families Act: Data Management Plan

Project descriptionThere is a lack of systematic research about the spatial variability in SEND provision and its drivers, leaving debates about the effectiveness of the current policy uninformed. This project addresses this evidence gap by investigating the extent, drivers, and implications of the postcode lottery for the education of children with SEND. Using a new harmonised dataset and spatial and non-spatial statistical and multilevel econometric methods, the project will characterise recent trends and spatial variability in SEND provision and outcomes in England pre- and post- the 2014 Children and Families Act.© the authors
