The final report from the evaluation of the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pathfinder programme. The programme, which was established in 2011 to explore how to reform the statutory SEN assessment and statement framework, involved the development and delivery of alternative approaches that could enhance or replace the existing system. Each Pathfinder was tasked to develop and trial an assessment process; a single, joined up EHC plan; and personal budgets across education, social care and health, and adult services as appropriate for children and young people from birth to 25 years. This report covers the second 18 months of the pathfinder programme, ending in September 2014, and looks at its effect on: families’ satisfaction with the systems and processes in place to obtain support for their child; families’ views about the amount and quality of support available to them; families’ views about their own and their child’s health and wellbeing; and the cost of the assessment and planning processes for obtaining SEND support. The data suggest that the process has improved for families, often in ways that are incremental but still statistically significant. Despite the improvement around the process, however, there was no statistical change in the extent to which families thought the decisions reached were fair. The family survey found little evidence of significant improvements in parental outcomes or in either children’s health or quality of life. (Edited publisher abstract)

This summary presents the interim findings from the ongoing impact evaluation of the SEND pathfinder programme, through which pathfinder families and a matched group of comparator families are being asked to provide their views on the support they have received. The report reflects the views of 328 pathfinder families who completed their education, health and care (EHC) plans between August 2013 and January 2014, and 1,000 comparison families that experienced the pre-pathfinder systems. The results from the interim analysis provide a range of positive findings, highlighting improvement around a good number of the process variables which are central to the reforms, such as being child / family centred and generating increased satisfaction with the overall process. More specifically, the pathfinder families reported statistically significant improvement in relation to: their views being taken into consideration in assessment and reviews; their suggestions being listened to during the process; the decisions made about their child's support reflecting the family's views; the straightforwardness of the process to obtain support; the effectiveness of information-sharing among professionals involved in their child's assessment; having at least one key worker working with their family; the length of the assessment and planning process; and overall satisfaction with the assessment and planning processes.
