Special Educational Needs and Disabilities

At Mount Carmel Primary School, a mainstream setting, we strive to support all children to enable them to achieve their potential. In order to do this many steps are taken to help all pupils through their learning journey.  High quality teaching is vital; however, for some children there are occasions when additional support may be needed.

Children and Families Act 2014

The Code of Practice for SEND children and young people aged 0-25 is outlined in this Act and came into force in September 2014. The government has listened to what parents say their experience of services is like and have put in place a number of things to bring about improvements. One of these is the ‘Local Offer’.

What is the SEND Local Offer?

Local Authorities must publish a ‘Local Offer’ setting out the provision they expect to be available across education, health and social care for children and young people who have SEN and D. (see link below)
