English Councils Warn Send Debts Will Hit £10bn by 2028
Councils in England say debts from special educational needs and disability support could reach a record £10bn by 2028, despite the government recently clearing more than £5bn. The County Councils Network blames a surge in requests for education, health and care plans, as parents rush to secure help before the reforms. It wants ministers to guarantee future deficits, warning some councils could otherwise face bankruptcy.
