Offer For Learners With Special Educational Needs And Disabilities (SEND)

The Children and Families Act 2014 reforms the responsibilities of educational establishments in ensuring that young people with SEND have equal life opportunities as they move into adulthood.

Additionally, the Preparing for Adulthood Programme (PfA) is funded by the Department for Education as part of the delivery support for SEN and Disability Reforms. Their website is an excellent place to obtain further information.
