Answer

My officials have engaged with Allied Health Professional (AHP) representatives throughout the development of the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Reform Agenda and associated Delivery Plan.

AHPs are represented on the Operational Implementation Oversight Group (OIOG) which is an integral part of the SEN Reform governance structures and will be invited onto to the Expert Advisory Forum and Lived Experience Forum.
