If your child has Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), there are specific legal obligations in place to support their education that must be met by schools.
Parents can ask their Local Authority for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA) if they think their child has SEND.
An EHCNA could lead to an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP), a legally enforceable plan outlining your child's needs and required educational support.
If your child has SEND, or you suspect they do and aren't getting the right support, you can seek legal advice from our Education Solicitors and SEND Lawyers.
Early intervention can help minimise future problems, and avoid unnecessary delays, so you can secure the right support for your child’s education.
