Lambeth Council is expanding SEND inclusion bases as part of its three-year reform plan for children and young people.

Lambeth Council is currently working on the expansion of SEND Inclusion Bases in mainstream schools as part of its three-year SEND Reform Plan for children and young people, unveiled in September 2026. These bases are dedicated spaces providing specialised support for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The plan was discussed at a Children's Services Scrutiny Sub-Committee meeting.

While no further meetings are currently scheduled on this specific topic, Lewisham's Children and Young People Select Committee discussed national Special Educational Needs and Disabilities reforms in June 2026, indicating a broader focus on SEND provision across councils.
