Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

The Code of Practice for supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities has changed significantly. One of the expectations it has introduced is that schools should report annually to parents how they identify, support and monitor the progress of children at the school with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
