Successfully navigate the SEND system in schools

The content in this handbook has been designed to empower parents and carers by equipping them with the knowledge of who is responsible for 'what' and 'when' within schools to ensure that children and young people receive the same entitlement to a good education and go on to achieve their full potential.
