Children Wrognly Diagnosed with Special Needs

The video discusses the prevalence of special needs among children in England, highlighting that one in five children is identified as having special needs. It explores the role of parental pressure in seeking special needs identification and the findings of an Ofsted report, which suggests that many children labeled as having special needs may simply require better teaching or care. The video also examines trends in special needs support, noting a significant increase in the number of children receiving support and the doubling of spending since 2009. Westerton Primary School is highlighted as an example of a school with excellent ratings and few children on the special needs register.
