SEND Information

What is ‘Special Educational Needs and Disability’?

Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) is a legal term which describes the needs of a child who has a difficulty or disability which makes learning harder for them than for other children their age. Around one in five children has SEND at some point during their school years. Some children have SEND right through their time in school. SEND covers a broad spectrum of difficulty or disability. Children may have wide-ranging or specific problems, e.g. a child might have difficulty with one area of learning, such as letters or numbers, or they might have problems relating to other children, or to adults, etc.

A disability is a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities and causes a difficulty or barrier to learn or to access the curriculum.

SEND Reforms

Lincolnshire County Council now uses the EHC HUB to manage new applications for Educational, Health and Care Plans. This is an online management system which streamlines the process and allows greater interaction between parents and professionals when applying.
