Understanding SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) law is crucial for ensuring that individuals with special educational needs and disabilities receive the support and accommodations they require. SEND law encompasses a wide range of legislation and regulations, including the Equality Act 2010, the Children and Families Act 2014, and the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice. This legislation outlines the rights of individuals with SEND, as well as the responsibilities of educational institutions and local authorities to provide appropriate support and accommodations. Understanding SEND law involves knowledge of the legal framework for identifying and assessing special educational needs, the process of creating and implementing Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans, and the rights of parents and carers to be involved in decision-making processes. Additionally, understanding SEND law involves being aware of the mechanisms for resolving disputes and seeking redress if the rights of individuals with SEND are not being upheld. Overall, a comprehensive understanding of SEND law is essential for ensuring that individuals with special educational needs and disabilities have equal access to education and support.
