Lib Dems call for cap on SEND school profits

Lib Dems call for cap on SEND school profits

The Liberal Democrats have called for a cap on the profits that private companies can make from special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) schools. The party argues that this is necessary to ensure that funding intended for these schools is not diverted into the pockets of shareholders. According to the Lib Dems, an 8% profit cap should be implemented to address this issue. They claim that this would help to ensure that the majority of the funding for SEND schools is used to provide the necessary support and resources for students with special educational needs. The proposal comes amid concerns that some private providers of SEND schools are prioritizing profits over the well-being and education of their students. The Lib Dems believe that this cap would help to address this problem and ensure that the funding for SEND schools is used for its intended purpose.
