You can use this page to learn about important SEND policies and what the council and the government must provide to residents with special educational needs and disabilities.
SEND Hub - SEND policies and protocols
SEND policies can help you understand your rights as someone with SEND or as parent carers. SEND policies can also tell you what services and support the government and the council must provide according to the law. These policies can take a long time to read, so we have outlined some useful sections.
Some of these policies are worked on by our teams, such as the SEND Improvement Board and the Community of Practice.
