Every child or young person with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) should have SEND support. This means help that is additional to or different from the support generally given to other children of the same age. Schools must identify pupils who have SEND and need extra help through SEND support. Schools should involve parents in this process. For further information please see:

SEND Support in Mainstream Schools
