SEND

SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

A child or young person aged from 0 to 25 years old is said to have special educational needs or a disability if they:

have a learning difficulty or disability which makes it much harder for them to learn than the majority of other pupils of the same age
require special educational provision to be made for them because they have a disability that prevents or hinders them from making use of educational facilities of a kind generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools

Supporting children and young people with SEND is everyone’s responsibility.
