How do I get support for my child with SEND?

Actions

Preschool Health Notifications

When a health professional identifies that a child (up to the age of 5 years) may have SEND, they must let the local authority know. This is called a Preschool Health Notification. The purpose of this is to ensure that the local authority knows about children with SEND who live in their area, so they can help the family access any appropriate support and services that may be helpful to them.

Portage Home Learning

This is a home-visiting service available to children (aged 0-3 years) with a recognised need or disability. The service helps promote a child’s development through a whole-family approach, and by building on the child’s existing skills and abilities. You can find out more by clicking or tapping here.
