Supporting young children with SEND

The importance of early intervention and partnership working

In a new blog on the Foundation Years website, Christina Welsh and Adi Soni from the EYSEND Partnership share the important work they have been doing to support the educational experiences of young people with SEN and disabilities in England.
 
Members of the EYSEND Partnership work at a strategic level by bringing together local authorities, parents/carers, setting and school staff, health colleagues, and other representatives from across the sector. The aim is to gather all stakeholders in the same space to develop more coherent and robust systems for young children to access the support and care they need.
 
Their latest report shows how the early identification of SEND, including through formal diagnosis and obtaining a support plan in the early years, paves the way towards a positive experience at school in later years.
