A guide for social care professionals on the support system for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. It is designed to help practitioners and commissioners understand their statutory duties under the special educational needs and disability reforms in the Children and Families Act 2014. It draws out the social care elements from the statutory 0-25 SEND Code of Practice and helps navigate the full document. The guide sets out the principles underpinning the code and examines its key elements, including: provision of impartial information, advice and support; working together across education, health and care for joint outcomes; the local offer; preparing for adulthood from the earliest years; education, health and care needs assessments and plans; children and young people in specific circumstances; and resolving disagreements.
