Forecasting & Statistics

In this three-part briefing series we use our Wandsworth Mime SEND Forecasting Model to explore our forecast for the future size and makeup of England’s EHCP cohort.

This briefing explores how the specific needs within the cohort may change over time, outlines some of the drivers behind these changes, and discusses impacts this may have on provision planning and the wider sector

In this briefing, we use our forecasting model to explore how changes to policy and practice, particularly investment in more inclusive mainstream provision and more robust SEN Support, could reshape the growth trajectory, reducing reliance on EHCPs and expensive independent placements.
