|
|
will be made available to meet your child's Special Needs. This is called Special
|
|
Educational Provision. A Statement of Special Educational Needs is set out in six
|
|
parts:</p><h4>Part 1 - Introduction</h4><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">The child's name and address and date of birth. </li>
|
|
<li title="*">The child's home language and religion.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">The names and address(es) of the child's parents.</li>
|
|
</ul><h4>Part 2 - Special Educational Needs</h4><p>Details of each and every one of the child's Special Educational
|
|
Needs as identified by the LEA during Statutory Assessment from the advice received
|
|
and attached as appendices to the statement.</p><h4>Part 3 - Special Educational Provision</h4><p>The Special Educational Provision which the LEA consider necessary
|
|
to meet the child's Special Educational Needs.</p><li title="*">The objectives which the Special Educational Provision should aim to meet.</li><li title="*">The Special Educational Provision which the LEA consider appropriate to meet
|
|
the needs specified in part 2 and to meet the specified objectives.</li><li title="*">The arrangements for monitoring progress in meeting those objectives, particularly
|
|
for setting short-term targets for the child's progress on a regular basis.</li><h4>Part 4 - Placement</h4><p>The type and name of school where the Special Educational Provision
|
|
specified in part 3 is to be made or the arrangements for the education to be made
|
|
otherwise than in school</p><h4>Part 5 - Non-Educational Needs</h4><p>All relevant non-educational needs of the child as agreed between
|
|
the Health Services, Social Services or other agencies and the LEA</p><h4>Part 6 - Non-Educational Provision</h4><p>Details of relevant non-educational provision which will be
|
|
made available to meet the non-educational needs of the child as agreed between
|
|
the Health Services and/or the Social Services and the LEA, including the agreed
|
|
arrangements for its provision.</p><p>If it has been decided to issue a Statement of Special Educational
|
|
Needs, then you will first be sent a 'Proposed Statement'. All sections will be
|
|
completed except Part 4 (describing the type and name of the school) which is left
|
|
blank. Along with the copy of the Proposed Statement, you will receive a letter
|
|
from the Sheffield Education Service telling how you can give your views on the
|
|
Proposed Statement before a Final Statement is issued. Details of LEA mainstream
|
|
and special schools in the area are sent to you at this point, along with details
|
|
of all non-maintained and independent schools approved by the Secretary of State
|
|
for Education as suitable for children with Special Educational Needs.</p><p>You have a right to express a preference for the LEA maintained
|
|
school you want you child to go to. This may be the school that your child is already
|
|
attending.</p><p>We will agree with your preference providing:</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">The school you choose is suitable for your child's age, ability and Special
|
|
Educational Needs.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Your child's attendance there will not effect the efficient education of other
|
|
children already at the school.</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Placing your child in the school will be an efficient use of resources</li>
|
|
</ul><p>You may also make any representations in respect of seeking
|
|
a place at a non-maintained independent school outside the LEA, although the Authority
|
|
is not obliged to fund a place in one of these schools. The LEA normally tries to
|
|
make provision for children in one of its own schools. Deciding which school you
|
|
would prefer your child to attend is a very important matter and we will be pleased
|
|
to talk to you and provide you with additional information to assist you with making
|
|
your decision.</p><p>You may wish to visit schools in order to familiarise yourself
|
|
with the provision made by the Local Education Authority. You have 15 days in which
|
|
to make any comments and express your preference of school you want for your child.
|
|
Usually the Local Education Authority will send you the Final Statement within
|
|
8 weeks of issuing the Proposed Statement. You will be informed of your right of
|
|
appeal against the Authority's decision to an independent Special
|
|
Needs Tribunal if you do not agree with the Final Statement issued by the Authority.</p><p>An assessment should take no longer than 6 months. (There are
|
|
exceptions to this time limit e.g. when professional advice is received late).</p><p>Parents or carers can help by replying quickly whenever the
|
|
Local Education Authority contacts you.</p><span class="gen">email address here</span><span class="gen">phone number here</span><span class="gen">sms phone number here</span><span class="gen">fax number here</span><span class="gen">minicom number here</span><span class="gen">postal address here</span><h3>
