Education and Childcare
Every child with special educational needs (SEN) is different, and finding the right education provision can feel confusing or overwhelming. This section will help you understand the different education options available for children and young people with SEN, so you can make informed choices that feel right for your child and your family.
You’ll find clear information about the types of education settings available, how they support children with SEN, and what to consider when deciding what might work best for your child.
Whether your child is starting school, moving between settings, or needs extra support in their current placement, this information will help you find your way.
