SEND Support
It’s important to identify if a child has additional needs or SEND as early as possible in order to provide the right interventions and ensure as a family you get the help needed. To see the Dorset SEND offer – check out: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/children-families/sen-and-disability-local-offer/education-and-learning/education-and-learning


Our family hub will be able to connect you with services that can help. An excellent resource for information and impartial advice is SENDIASS: https://www.dorsetsendiass.co.uk/.
The team at SENDIASS can help you understand your rights around children with SEND. For those aged 16 – 25 they should be advised separately in their own right.
Another great local resource, run by parents is the SEND Nurture Group – check out: https://sendnurturenetwork.co.uk/
