Support for SEN in schools

The Council's responsibilities

We are required by law to support all children and young people with SEND.

We will:

  • identify and assess needs of pupils with special educational needs / disability and provide suitable support for your child
  • provide high quality support and services to schools
  • improve access to the curriculum, premises and written information for pupils
  • develop co-ordinated multi-agency support
  • plan with schools and other relevant partners to develop systems for monitoring and accountability for special educational needs and disability
  • continue to review arrangements for special educational needs and disability support
  • provide independent and impartial advice for parents and carers

We have a range of services that support children and young people with SEND, and their families.
