SEN Support Plans

Resolving disagreements

If you disagree or are unhappy about any decisions that have been made about your child's SEN Support Plan, you should first contact the service or school / setting.

In most cases you can work together to resolve any issues to make sure that your child's needs are met.

If you need support with discussing any issues, you can contact SENDIASS.

If a disagreement cannot be resolved, you can access the Disagreement Resolution Service:


Disagreement Resolution Service

This is a free of charge, voluntary service.

It aims to resolve disputes informally as quickly as possible.

It can help resolve disputes about how the school / setting, or the Council, is performing its education, health and care duties for children with SEN.

This includes all SEN duties, not just Education, Health and Care needs assessments or plans.
