Special Educational Needs (SEN) Team

The Special Educational Needs Co-ordination (SEN) Service is responsible for co-ordinating the process for arranging specialist provision for children and young people 0 to 25 with special educational needs. The team will work with families where a request for assessment is made, which may lead to an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

The team is made up of a range of roles, including:

SEN Casework Manager - this role oversees the team and supports the case workers with more complex cases
SEN Caseworker - when a request for assessment is made, a caseworker will be allocated; this caseworker will coordinate the arrangement of the 20-week process from assessment to potentially an EHCP development. They will support families with identifying and arranging specialist provision for your child where needed
Plan Writers -nthe plan writers will work behind the scenes to write EHCPs and make amendments if needed after annual reviews; the Plan Writers are not front-facing roles
SEN Professional Support Officer

Once you have an allocated case worker, you can contact them when you need. However, prior to this, you can contact the team for the following:
