Children who are disabled or who have special educational needs have disproportionately poor life chances and outcomes. This Green Paper presents for consultation the government's proposals for reform of the system to support children and young people who are disabled or who have special educational needs. The main objectives of the proposals are: to support better life outcomes for young people (with a new approach to identifying special educational needs and a new single assessment process and Education Health and Care Plan by 2014), to give parents confidence by giving them more control (with local authorities and other services to set out a local offer of all services available and the option of a personal budget by 2014), and to transfer powers to professionals on the front line and to local communities (giving parents a choice of school and introducing greater independence to the assessment of children's needs). The proposals and questions for consultation are set out in 5 chapters: early identification and assessment, giving parents control, learning and achieving, preparing for adulthood, and services working together for families. As well as a four-month period of consultation, there will be practical testing in local areas with local pathfinder projects from September 2011.
