FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

What are special educational needs (SEN)?

Special educational needs (SEN) refer to any learning difficulty or disability that makes it harder for a child to learn than most children of the same age. This can include a range of conditions, such as autism, dyslexia, ADHD, and physical disabilities.
You can find support through various channels, including your local authority’s SEN department, schools, and educational psychologists. Additionally, organisations like the National Autistic Society and Dyslexia Action offer resources and guidance
Children with SEN have the right to receive appropriate support tailored to their individual needs. This includes access to an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan if necessary, which outlines the support required and is legally binding.

How can I apply for an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan?

To apply for an EHC plan, you need to contact your local authority. They will guide you through the assessment process, which involves gathering information from your child’s school and other professionals involved in their care.
If you disagree with the support provided, first discuss your concerns with the school. If unresolved, you can appeal to the local authority or seek advice from organisations like the Special Educational Needs and Disability Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS).
There are many online resources available for learning at home, including websites like BBC Bitesize, Twinkl, and SEN resources specific to various learning difficulties. Many organisations also offer free resources, worksheets, and activities tailored for SEN students.
