There is very clear and specific guidance for School practice for SEND. This is provided by:

• Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice (2014)
• Part 3 of the Children and Families Act (2014), which sets out schools’ responsibilities for pupils with SEN and disabilities.
• The Special Educational Needs and Disability Regulations (2014) which outlines the responsibilities for Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans. (This is explained fully later on).
