School Offer / SEN Information Report
Children and Families Bill 2013
The Children and Families Bill underpins wider reforms to ensure all children and young people can succeed, no matter what their background. The Bill will reform the systems for adoption, looked after children, family justice and special educational needs.
The Government is transforming the system for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN), including those who are disabled, so that services consistently support the best outcomes for them.
A child or young person has a learning difficulty or disability if he or she:
- has a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age, or
- has a disability which prevents or hinders him or her from making use of educational facilities of a kind, generally provided for others of the same age in mainstream schools or mainstream post-16 institutions.
As part of the SEN Reform Programme, Local Authorities must publish their Local Offer, providing a comprehensive, transparent and accessible picture of the range of services available. Local partners, including schools are required to co-operate with the Local Authority in the development and review of their Local Offer.
All Knowsley maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school.
This document outlines our School Offer and the SEN Information required as stated in the SEN Code of Practice.
We have set out our School Offer / SEN Information Report through a series of questions through which you can get more information. You may also wish to refer to our SEN Policy for further information. More information and support can be found following the link below to the Knowsley Family Information Service
Knowsley Borough Council can also offer advice and support regarding SEND.
