Factsheets

The aim of these factsheets is to make subjects related to the SEND System succinct and clear.

Please note that the information in our factsheets is accurate to the best of our knowledge and at the time of publication. We update our factsheets regularly but we welcome feedback at any time; please contact us if you notice anything that we could improve.

Our webpage ‘guides’ on SEND subjects gives more detailed information for those who want to understand a bit more, including any national guidance and law related to a subject.

If you prefer to watch a video rather than read a factsheet, then you may want to look at our videos on different SEND subjects (e.g. SEN Support, EHC Needs Assessments, EHC Plans).
