Special Educational Needs and Disability
Special educational needs and disability (SEND)
A child or young person has special educational needs and disabilities if they have a learning difficulty and/or a disability that means they need special health and education support, we shorten this to SEND.
The SEND Code of Practice 2014 and the Children and Families Act 2014 gives guidance to health and social care, education and local authorities to make sure that children and young people with SEND are properly supported.

As stated in our policy, “Delves Federation is committed to taking all steps to avoid placing anyone at a substantial disadvantage” and we work closely with families and external agencies to support this aim.
