SEND Code of Practice

The Code of Practice (2014) covers the 0-25 age range and includes guidance relating to disabled children and young people as well as those with SEND.
There is a clearer focus on the participation of children and young people and parents in decision-making at individual and strategic levels, with a stronger focus on high aspirations and on improving outcomes for children. This includes the early identification of SEND, and a graduated approach to planning appropriate support for children.

Each Local Authority provides their Local Offer of support for children and young people with SEN or disabilities, as well as the joint planning and commissioning of services to ensure close co-operation between education, health and social care.

For children and young people with more complex needs a co-ordinated assessment process and the new 0-25 Education, Health,and Care plan (EHC plan) replace statements and Learning Difficulty Assessments (LDAs).
