David Taylor, Labour MP for Hemel Hempstead, has raised urgent concerns in Parliament over the crisis facing Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision in Hertfordshire. In a speech delivered in the House of Commons, Mr Taylor highlighted that Hertfordshire ranks 148th out of 150 local authorities for per-pupil High Needs funding. Just 7.5% of the county’s education budget is allocated to SEND, compared to a national average of 11.5%. The county is also facing a projected £30 million deficit in its SEND budget by end of this year.
