Support for SEN in schools
Resolving disagreements about support
Your child's school / setting is responsible for assessing which SEND range your child's needs fall into, and what support should be put in place.
This should be done in partnership with you and your child / young person.
We recommend that you reflect on the progress your child is making, and any adjustments to their plan of support.
We understand that you may disagree with the plan.
In the first instance, we recommend that you discuss this with your child's teacher or SENCO.
If you are unhappy about the support your child is getting, and this has not been resolved through informal channels, you may wish to progress this further.
Check the school / setting's website for their escalation policy.
If you need further information and advice, you can contact SENDIASS.
