Some children and young people have special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
If you think your child has special educational needs or a disability, speak to the professionals already working with your family, such as your health visitor, child’s teacher or GP. They can help you to get the support you may need.
Information for professionals about protecting children with disabilities can be found here.
