Southwark Council is set to expand inclusion hubs in secondary schools, which are dedicated spaces providing support for students with special educational needs and disabilities. This initiative is part of the council's SEND reform plan, aiming to offer more localised and effective support for young people.
The plan, presented by officers in October 2026, includes ambitious targets to measure its success, such as significantly increasing the proportion of secondary pupils with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) educated in mainstream settings. The council's strategy highlights a shift towards earlier intervention and greater inclusion within mainstream educational environments.
