Children and Families Act 2014
The Children and Families Act 2014 is a UK law designed to improve the support and services available to children and families. It focuses on areas such as adoption, special educational needs, and childcare, ensuring that children receive the help they need to thrive. The Act aims to make processes more efficient and accessible for families, promoting better outcomes for children.
One key aspect of the Act is the emphasis on the importance of special educational needs (SEN). It introduces a new system for assessing and supporting children with SEN, ensuring that families are more involved in decision-making. This approach helps to create a more inclusive environment for all children.
