Please note: providers are responsible for updating their own information. Please let us know if you would like to suggest a school or setting and we will contact them.

What special educational needs (SEN) support can be put in place?

See our information page on special educational needs (SEN) support in colleges for more information on:

Adapting the curriculum and/or environment in schools
What support can be provided in mainstream schools
What you can do if you disagree with the support provided

Do I need an education health and care plan to access support?

Most young people with special educational needs and disabilities will have their needs met within local mainstream colleges.

Education health and care needs assessments

Some young people may need more help than would normally be provided in a setting. The education health and care needs assessment will look in detail at the young person's needs and the support that they require.
