Help us find out if your disabled child or young person has any, some, or all of their SEND provision back (or if it’s ever been in place!) Please take SNJ’s autumn SEND survey: bit.ly/autumn-send. #fixSEND

Duty to assess under the 2014 Act is mandatory if the person ‘may’ have a need for care and / or support. sections 19, 21 and 24
