Going to School<br />
– who will help my child?<br />
It may be the case that when your child is about<br />
to go to school, he/she may need help beyond<br />
what their teachers will be able to provide.<br />
A Statement of Special Educational Needs<br />
will identify what your child’s needs are and<br />
what additional help they might need.<br />
The Special Educational Needs Advice Centre<br />
(SENAC) provides an independent advice,<br />
information and advocacy service for parents<br />
of children and young people with special<br />
educational needs. This service is available for<br />
young people up to the age of 19, across a wide<br />
range of learning difficulties/disabilities.<br />
What is a Statement?<br />
A statement of special educational needs<br />
(SEN) sets out your child’s needs and the<br />
help they should have. It is reviewed annually<br />
to ensure that any extra support given continues<br />
to meet your child’s needs.
