Is it true to say it doesn't matter how people respond to the consultation as cuts are going to happen anyway?

The overall funding for SEND, the High Needs Funding Block (HNFB), will continue being spent on SEND, but we need to make some changes.

There is a big overspend that needs to be reduced, but also we want to spend more on early intervention and post-16. We can’t do that without reducing or changing some of the current spending. We want to hear from people and to consider their views, as there may be factors we have not thought of.
