SEN Support Toolkit

5. Wider Guidance





The local authority is here to support you in managing and meeting SEN needs in school. however, there are a wide range of resources which are available from other organisations and which constitute best practice. It is not our intention to replicate this guidance, but here we offer links for you to access it without the need to search in multiple locations. Suggestions for additional content are always welcomed.
