Stakeholders and representation

AoC represents colleges by working with:

• Department for Education (DfE) officials who have responsibility for the Children and Families Act (2014), national implementation of the changes to the SEND system, and supported Internships
• Other Government and local authority officials involved in implementing changes to the SEND system
• Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) officials who have responsibility for the changes to high-needs funding and implementation of the new processes, and for student support for mainstream students
• The Special Education Consortium (SEC) – a cross-sector body representing the needs of children and young people with SEND and their families.
