We know that some of the processes involved with SEN and requesting support can often be extremely complicated and time-consuming. Part of our remit at SENDIAS is to empower parent carers to understand what the law and statutory guidance state about your situation, so that you can request the support your child or young person needs.
We hope that these practical guides build on the factsheets already available, but may be more user-friendly than the detailed guides. The aim is to give more targeted practical information and advice about each topic, alongside some examples to help you ‘see’ what the completed documentation may begin to look like.
Please let us know how you find them.
