AGP Executive Report
Last update: 41 minutes agoNeurodiversity Support: A government-backed review says England’s ADHD and autism services need a major reset. More than 560,000 people were waiting for an ADHD assessment and 254,000 for autism in December 2025. The review recommends support based on need, not diagnosis alone, and says over- and underdiagnosis occur, but not at scale. University Finances: UK student visa applications fell 10.3% in September, adding pressure to universities that rely on £12.4bn in overseas fee income. The wider sector is also warning that costs and falling revenues are squeezing institutions. School Oversight: New Ofsted inspection rules are now in force in England, while calls grow to end graded school inspections. GCSE changes are also confirmed for September 2027. School Safety: Staff at Pen-y-Cwm special school in Ebbw Vale were reportedly injured in an incident, with two taken to hospital. Unison says it is working with the council and school over staff safety concerns. Youth Opportunity: North East leaders warn that rising numbers of young people not in education, employment or training could worsen without urgent action.
