Special Education Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (SEND CoP)

The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (SEND CoP) is a guidance framework in the UK that outlines how schools and local authorities should support children with special educational needs (SEN) or disabilities. It emphasizes identifying needs early, working collaboratively with families, and ensuring access to appropriate resources and services. The code aims to ensure that children receive a tailored education that meets their individual needs, fostering inclusivity and helping them achieve their potential in a supportive environment. Its goal is to provide clear expectations for educators and improve outcomes for affected children.
