Understanding This Data
📋 EHCP

An Education, Health and Care Plan is a legally binding document that outlines a child's special educational needs and the support they must receive. EHCPs are issued by the Local Authority following a formal assessment.

🤝 SEN Support

SEN Support is the school-based provision for children identified as having special needs but who do not require an EHCP. The school's SENCO coordinates this support through the "graduated approach" of assess, plan, do, review.

🔍 SEN Information Report

Every school must publish a SEN Information Report on their website, detailing what support they offer, how they identify needs, and how they allocate resources. Contact the school's SENCO for more detail.
