Factsheets

The aim of these factsheets, is to make subjects related to SEND succinct and clear. Most of the factsheets are generally 2-sided, explaining the basics of a subject.

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.

If you would like more detailed information about these subjects (including any national guidance and law), then please take a look at our webpage ‘guides’.

If you are working through a process yourself, our practical step-by-step guidance may be helpful

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).
