Who is entitled?
If a child or young person has Special Educational Needs the educational setting for example the nursery, school or college must provide support which is additional to and different from all children or young people of a similar age. This is known as SEN support.
An educational setting has a duty to provide support to enable a child or young person to participate, learn and make progress. Settings have to take action to:
- Remove barriers to learning
- Put effective special educational provision in place
