This statistical first release publishes data from the January 2015 school census on pupils with special educational needs and information about special schools in England. It also provides data on the characteristics of pupils by their SEN provision. The release shows that 15.4 per cent of pupils in schools in England have identified special educational needs (equating to 1,301,445 pupils). This has been decreasing since 2010 (21.1 per cent) and is a fall of 2.5 percentage points since last year. Nearly a quarter of pupils with a primary need were recorded as having ‘Moderate Learning Difficulty’ as their primary need – the most common primary need.

Information is collected by several government departments on the characteristics of people with learning disabilities and on the services and supports used by them and their unpaid carers. The aim of this report is to provide a concise summary of this information and to provide links to key data collections. The report estimates that in England in 2010 1,198,000 people had learning disabilities. This includes: 298,000 children (188,000 boys, 110,000 girls) age 0-17; and 900,000 adults (526,000 men and 374,000 women), of whom 191,000 (21%) are known to learning disabilities services. The report includes data on health services, education, adult social care, employment, benefits and carers. Some of the information highlights progress being made on the implementation of key health and social care policies for people with learning disabilities, including: increased rates of uptake of annual health checks by adults with learning disabilities; a reduction in NHS long-term accommodation for adults with learning disabilities; and increased uptake of direct payments and personal budgets by people with learning disabilities. Other information, for example the very low rates of employment among adults with learning disabilities, highlights the progress that still needs to be made in order to meet the aspirations of current policies.

This report gives an overview of the most recent facts and figures about disability in the United Kingdom. It covers key policy areas, including employment, social care and housing, education, transport and accessibility as well as the prevalence of specific impairments. The report shows that disabled people between 18 and 65 represent one third of social care users. They are twice as likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people. Full-time disabled workers earn on average 12.6% less than full-time non-disabled people. The proportion of disabled people with no qualifications is nearly three times that of non-disabled people. There are 1.8 million disabled people with unmet housing needs, 580,000 of whom are of working age.
