CEO of the ISC Julie Robinson has warned that by rushing to implement its VAT policy in January, the government risks worsening challenges for children with special educational needs (SEND), military families, and pupils at faith schools.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Ms Robinson said: “There are currently over 200 questions with the Treasury about the details around the Government’s education tax; much remains unclear for schools.
“A rushed January implementation will only exacerbate the issues around the policy, particularly for children with SEND [special educational needs and disabilities], military families and those choosing schools aligned with their faith.”
