Educational assessments for children attending school

enable javascript

School Action - when a teacher or SENCO identifies a child with SEN who needs additional or different support to those offered in the general curriculum.
School Action Plus - the request for help from external services or specialist help to meet a child's needs.
Request for a Statutory Assessment - where it is felt the child still has significant needs which cannot be met by the actions of previous stages, similar to the request made for children under two years.

Local education authorities will tell you whether or not they have decided to assess, and give you 29 days notice before the assessment begins. This period is to allow parents to respond with information and views to be included as part of the assessment.

The assessment usually includes reports from school, an educational psychologist, a doctor or health professional and parents.
