How can schools help children with special educational needs?
Understanding SEN system in England.
In England, a child with SEN may go to a mainstream school, where there are pupils with and without SEN, or a special school, where there are only pupils with SEN. In a mainstream school, it is the responsibility of the special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) at the school to arrange extra help for those who need it. Most children with special educational needs will go to mainstream schools, and the law gives parents a right to say that they prefer this option for their child. In a special school there are only pupils with special educational needs, and they will usually have needs that are more complex.
What the Law says?
Under section 66 of the Children and Families Act 2014, mainstream schools must do everything they can to meet a child or young person’s SEN.
Under section 100 of the Children and Families Act 2014, all local authority maintained schools must make arrangements for pupils at the school with medical conditions.
