Children who need additional support

Early Support for families and carers

 

(Please note, where we use “must” this implies statutory duty)

  • We must carry out a needs assessment and have a duty to meet any eligible needs
  • We must support people to live as independently as possible for as long as possible
  • We must consider during assessments whether the people concerned would benefit from some type of preventive service or intervention
  • We must provide information about local provision for children and young people with SEND
  • We will endeavour to identify SEND as early as possible
  • We will identify appropriate support and ensure it is implemented
  • We will ensure young children with SEND have appropriate support to start school
  • We will take into account the rights and responsibilities of parents/carers. We will work in partnership to support parents/carers in their parenting/carer role
