Kingston Council is improving annual review times for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), including autism and ADHD.

Kingston Council's SEND Futures Plan has improved the timeliness of annual reviews for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), which include autism and ADHD. In September 2026, 72% of decisions were made within four weeks, a notable increase from 57% in 2025, according to a story on 2026-09-19. This improvement is attributed to Annual Review dashboards introduced in March 2026.
