What does SEND mean?

A child or young person aged from 0 to 25 years has special educational needs or disability (SEND) if they: 

  • have a learning difficulty or disability which makes it much harder for them to learn than other pupils of the same age
  • they require special educational provision to be made for them.

SEN is a legal term. A detailed description can be found in the SEND Code of Practice (SEN on page 15 and disability on page 16). Or you can read the easy-read version of the SEND Code of Practice from Mencap.

 

Different types of special educational needs or disability (SEND):

Children with SEND may need extra help or support, or special provision made for them to have the same opportunities of other children of their age.
