What can I do if I am worried about my child's education?
It is very important to talk about your worries as soon as you can. You should let your child's school know of your concerns so that together you can try to resolve any problems.

You can talk to:
Bullet Point
Your child's class teacher, form tutor or head of year
Bullet Point
 The Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO)
Bullet Point
The Head Teacher
Bullet Point

The Governor with responsibility for special educational needs

Bullet Point

If your child is 13 years or over, support from the Connexions Service may also be useful.

It is important that your child's views are heard.

 

If your child is undergoing Statutory Assessment or has a Statement, you can also talk to your Special Educational Needs (SEN) Caseworker.

Your caseworker’s name and telephone number will be on the letter sent to you from the Local Authority.

If you are unable to find this information, ring us and we will try and help you.
