In September 2014 the law changed around the way disabled children and young people, and those with special educational needs (SEN), get the support they need.
It means that professionals from different services have to work more closely together to give you the support you need. It means you have more say over what support and services are offered in your local area, and more help is available for you as you prepare for adulthood.
Some of the biggest changes you now see include:
A video from the Council for Disabled children about the SEND eforms
A video from the Council for Disabled children about how the SEND reforms affect post-16 support.
A video from the Council for Disabled Children explaining EHCP's
A video from the Council for Disabled Children explaining EHCP annual reviews
A video from the Council for Disabled Children explaining Person Centred planning meetings
A video from the Council for Disabled Children explaining the Local Offer
A great resource, created by Amy from Nottinghamshire, who is a member of Council for Disabled Children’s youth advisory group FLARE
The SEND Graduated Response is a tool for schools and colleges to help ensure children and young people with Special Educational Needs reach their full potential.
