Special Educational Needs and Disability is a provision that is additional to or otherwise different from the educational provision made generally for children of their age in school.  At any point in their school life from the Early Years Foundation Stage, a child may have Special Educational Needs.

 

If a child’s needs are greater than those available from the school and the Oxfordshire Local Offer then an application for an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHC Plan) can be made to the Local Authority. The EHC Plan puts the emphasis on personal goals and describes the support the child will receive across different services to achieve theses ambitions.
