Educational assessments for children under compulsory school age and over two

enable javascript

Early Years Action - this happens when it is felt a child needs additional support to those provided as part of the usual curriculum. This action will include interventions agreed by the SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator) and the child's teacher in consultation with the child's parents.

Early Years Action Plus - this stage is when outside support services or more specialist advice is sought to aid a child's development.

Requests for a statutory assessment - for some children the stages above are not enough to meet their additional needs and a request for a statutory assessment may be made either by you or one of the professionals who have contact with your child. The statutory assessment is a detailed examination of a child's difficulties, taking into account information from parents and professionals working with the child. Professionals who make the assessment include a speech therapist and/or an educational psychologist.
