Accessible versions of the 2022 Green Paper

The Department for Education has published accessible versions of the green paper, including: 

• a full British Sign Language version to support those who are deaf or have a hearing impairment 
• an easy-read version to support those with learning disabilities  
• a guide to help children and young people with SEND or those in alternative provision to understand the green paper and respond to the consultation 
   

The department is committed to ensuring the SEND and Alternative Provision Green Paper and consultation process is fully accessible.  

On the day of publication, we provided a ‘request alternative formats service’ to provide everyone the opportunity to engage with the green paper and consultation, this includes provision of Braille, audio and other language translations.

We apologise that a full range of accessible resources was not available from the first day of the consultation.    

We are extending the consultation period by 3 weeks, to 22 July 2022, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to take part in the consultation. 

All resources are available on gov.uk: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/send-review-right-support-right-place-right-time
