Isle of Wight SEN Support Toolkit

If you have worked through this toolkit and endeavoured to meet the needs of the CYP through SEN support in addition to universal high-quality teaching then next steps may include:

1. The opportunity to talk through this case with an experienced SEN leader employed by the local authority via our SENCO Helpline.  You can raise an enquiry with them by completing this FORM, and they will aim to respond within 72 hours. 
2. You may wish to consider application for an Education, Health and Care needs assessment.  The application process can be started HERE.

This toolkit focuses on information and guidance that can be quickly accessed and read.  There also exists a wealth of high quality information in the form of books and podcasts.  A few are highlighted below and recommended by our local authority professionals.
