We are responsible for the management and administration
of the statutory assessment process and, where appropriate, the
production and maintenance of Statements of Special Educational
Need.
All decisions are made through the weekly Statutory and Complex
Issue Panel, which comprises representatives from the SEN Team,
Education Welfare Service, Educational Psychology Service,
Inclusion Support Service, Social Services and Health.
We offer advice on:
- Assessment criteria and process
(see Guidance for SEN
Assessment)
- Allocation of resources
- Requests for specialist equipment
- Transitions and annual reviews
- Pupils moving into the district
- SEN tribunals
- Health and safety
We are involved in partnership working with Social Services and
Health, Risk Assessment and mapping of pupils and provision.
In the first instance contact the SEN officer responsible for
your child’s school.
We provide a range of guidance documents and leaflets which can
be accessed via
our
Policies & Guidance
and
Leaflets pages.
