Understanding SEND support in schools
Every child deserves the right support. These guides explain how schools support special educational needs and disabilities, what to ask, and how families research inclusion and provision.
Understanding provision
Schools support SEND in different ways. These guides explain how to read a school's SEND information report, understand who coordinates support, and ask how needs are identified and reviewed.
EHCPs and settling in
If your child has an Education, Health and Care Plan, these guides explain what to ask about how the school meets the provision it sets out, and how new pupils are helped to settle.

How do I find a school with good SEND support?
Read each school's SEND information report, ask how needs are identified and reviewed, and combine this with community insights and a visit to understand inclusion in practice.
What is an EHCP?
An Education, Health and Care Plan sets out the support a child with significant needs should receive. Ask prospective schools how they would meet the provision it describes.
