SEND support pack for schools
Our SEND support pack for schools provides comprehensive EHCP templates and resources to help you navigate the Education, Health and Care Plan process efficiently.
Many schools don't have the capacity to cope with the scale of specialist support required, with limited funding and a lack of special school places.
While there's no easy, overnight solution to these issues, we can help. Our SEND support pack for schools offers resources and templates to use throughout the EHCP process and beyond, helping ensure that legal obligations are met within their respective timescales.
Using these resources and putting these policies in place will help you handle the process efficiently and reassure parents of pupils with SEND that you're doing everything you can to support them and their child to get the support they need.
Contact us"It’s easy to sound like a broken record when the message around SEND funding is played on repeat. However, the issue is not going away. Most schools want to do all they can to support pupils with special educational needs, but they need the support and resource to do so."
What's included in your SEND support pack
- Time-saving templates: Reduce administrative workload with our ready-to-use policy, SEND Information Report and Accessibility Plan.
- Template letters: Ensure legal obligations and timescales around the EHCP process are met with four template letters covering the various stages.
- Resources to rely on in the consultation process: Ensure EHCP consultation responses are detailed and robust with our template consultation response, costed provision map and more.
- FAQs and guidance documents: Information on re-occurring issues and questions, including a guidance note on the ‘right to mainstream education’.
- SEND Tribunal resources: Supporting schools participating in the Tribunal process, including four template witness statements.
