Understanding SEND - Your Guide to Support
Every child is unique, and some may need extra help to reach their full potential. If you think your child may have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), or they already receive support, we’re here to help you understand the process and what to expect.
This section provides information on:
What to do if you think your child may have SEND – Steps to take, assessments, and where to find support.
What to expect from school – How schools identify and support children with SEND.
SEND in the early years – Support available for children before they start school.
SEND in independent schools – Understanding how private schools provide for children with SEND.
SEND funding in mainstream schools – How funding works and what support it can provide.
Helping you navigate SEND with confidence
We believe in empowering parent carers and young people to take control of their journey. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to make informed decisions and move your situation forward.

Knowledge is power, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
