Elizabeth Murray joins @PDA Dad UK for a thoughtful conversation exploring the future of SEND support in schools, the direction of the 2026 SEND reforms, and the realities facing educators, SENCOs and school leaders today.

Drawing on her experience as a teacher, SENCO, SEND leader and National SEND Director at Supporting Education Group, Elizabeth reflects on the importance of strong universal provision, leadership, staff training and collaboration across the education sector. The episode also explores the pressures schools currently face, the challenges around specialist support services, and how settings can begin preparing for long-term reform while supporting the children and young people in front of them right now.

A practical, honest and optimistic discussion about inclusion, leadership and creating better outcomes for pupils with SEND.
