• Speak to their class teacher about your concerns.

• Arrange a meeting with the teacher and the school Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO).

• Discuss if a support plan is needed such as a one-page profile or termly support plan.

• Arrange further meetings to monitor progress once support is in place.

• Ahead of the meeting make notes of the key things you want to discuss.

• Be clear about what outcome you want from the meeting.

• Ask for dates of any agreed actions and record these.

• Initially speak with their class teacher regarding your concerns and the support you feel isn’t being delivered.

• Arrange a meeting with the SENCO or senior staff within the school to raise your concerns should they not be addressed after speaking with the teacher.

• Look at any support plans for your child and what support has been said to be required. This can be the basis of challenging the school about the support being provided.

• You can put in a formal written complaint to the school if they’re failing to follow their own SEN policy.

• An Education, Health and Care plan is a legal document that details a child or young person’s needs in those areas.

• The EHC plan is to provide additional support to a child or young person whose needs can’t be met through SEN support in school or college.

• The EHC creates a legal duty on the Local Authority to provide the provision described as needed in the plan.
