Special Educational Needs and
Disabilities (SEND)
The Department for Education (DfE) published a new Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Code of Practice on 30th July 2014. It came into force from 1st September 2014, replacing the previous 2001 code. The new code reflects the changes introduced by the Children and Families Act 2014.
All schools must have regard to what the code of practice says whenever decisions are taken relating to children with SEND.
Local Authorities are now obliged to publish a Local Offer with information about the available provision and how to access it. The aim of this is to make provision more responsive to the needs of young children with SEND. Our school has contributed to this development.
