Identifying SEND in a child's early years can be key to helping them access education and reach their potential.

Statutory guidance sets out what schools and local authorities must do to comply with the law. The guidance should be followed unless there is a very good reason not to.

The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Local Offer is a term introduced by the Government. Every Local Authority (LA) must have a SEND Local Offer.
