Hundreds of children with special educational needs (SEND) are being denied a school place because of a lack of appropriate provision, research by ITV News has revealed.
Thousands more vulnerable children are being home-schooled – either by choice or because it is the only option left for parents battling against the SEND system.
The investigation by ITV News highlights serious failings in the education of young people who are being left behind as councils fight to balance budgets and provide specialist education to those who need it most.
