Services for children with SEND
Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) refers to a child or young person who has a learning difficulty and/or disability that means they need special health and education support. This report focuses on young people who are supported by an Educational Health and Care Plan (EHCP). This is a legal document outlining the educational, health, and social care needs of a child or young person with special educational needs or disabilities, aged 0 to 25. Children and young people with EHCPs can be supported in a variety of settings. For this analysis the report has focussed on:
Mainstream: Children and young people supported in mainstream schools.
Maintained special schools (MSS): Children and young people supported in local authority owned special schools.
Independent non-maintained special schools (INMSS): Children and young people supported in independent non-local authority owned special schools.
Other: EHCPs that do not fall into the above categories.
This report does not include statutory SEN support which should be provided by mainstream schools with less oversight from the local authority.
