SEND Support to EHCP - A comprehensive guide for school SENCos

Venue: Online

Date: 8 Mar 2023

Synopsis: This brand-new masterclass has been designed to guide you through every part of the process of providing support to pupils with potential special educational needs, from identification through to needs assessment and applying for EHCPs.

Details:

The Children and Families Act 2014 and the SEND Code of Practice 2015 clearly set out the statutory responsibilities of schools and local authorities in providing additional and or different support and provision for children and young people with special educational needs.

This is based on three elements of support:

• High quality teaching, adapted and adjusted to meet individual needs
• SEN Support provides additional and/or different support within a mainstream classroom
• Education, Health and Care Plan to support the most complex needs of children and young people in mainstream and specialist settings

The process that schools should follow to ensure that a student gets the right support can be difficult for SENCOs in schools. Although the law is very clear about what should happen, local authority policies often confuse and hinder the processes.

By the end of this day, you will have a comprehensive understanding of what schools should do to ensure that a student in their school is receiving the right level of support.
