HomeEducation & LearningSpecial Educational NeedsStatements
A Statement has six parts.
Part 1 - gives basic details such as your child's name and address. It also lists those who have provided advice during the statutory assessment.
Part 2 - gives a detailed summary of your child's needs using the advice gathered through the statutory assessment.
Part 3 - gives details on how your child's needs will be met. It provides objectives and the provision that will enable the objectives to be met. Part 3 also includes the way in which your child's progress will be monitored.
Part 4 - states the school that your child will attend to receive the support stated in Part 3.
Part 5 - describes any non-educational needs your child may have such as health needs.
Part 6 - describes any non-educational support provided to meet the needs described in Part 5.
If, following a statutory assessment, it is decided that a Statement should be issued, you will be sent a Proposed Statement - that is, a draft of the Statement - within two weeks of the completion of the ten week statutory assessment process. You will also receive a copy of the advice that was gathered during the statutory assessment.
You have 15 days from when you receive the Proposed Statement to provide your comments and state which school you would like your child to attend.
