The Local Government Association's new database enables comparison of each local authority in England against national and regional averages on around 80 different indicators relating to SEND. The website generates customisable reports.
The indicators cover 5 broad areas
· Local area SEND information – including incidence of primary needs in primary, secondary and special schools and overall SEN expenditure
· Implementation of the reforms – including 20 week statutory deadline for EHC plans, discontinued statements and personal budgets
· Attainment of pupils with SEN
· Experience of the system – including % of mediation cases that go to appeal
