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, as well as provide practical guidance so that you can request the support your child or young person needs.
These practical guides provide more targeted practical step-by-step information and advice about each topic, alongside some examples to help you ‘see’ what the completed documentation may begin to look like.
These build on the more basic information provided in our factsheets, but provide more practical advice than our detailed guide pages.
Please let us know how you find them.
