Keir Starmer faces fresh Labour revolt over special needs support reforms

  • Sir Keir Starmer faces a fresh Labour backbench revolt in 2025 over planned reforms to special educational needs support in England.
  • The backlash comes after Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson declined to confirm that the current legally enforceable special educational needs support arrangements would be maintained.
  • Currently, 638,745 EHCPs are in place, a 10.8% increase from last year, while campaigners warn that scrapping them risks denying many children vital support.
  • Education Minister Stephen Morgan said reforms aim to strengthen support and urged parents to have “absolutely no fear” about SEND help being scaled back.
  • The dispute reveals tensions within Labour and Parliament, with dozens of MPs prepared to rebel amid concerns about trust in ministers amid the SEND overhaul.
