Introduction to SEND

All children are unique and develop in a different way. It is normal for parents and carers to feel concern about their child. This could be due the child falling behind in a particular area, or if they do things in a different way to other children. Our 'Does My Child Have SEND?' page works as a simple introduction to all things SEND.
