Early Years SEND Toolkit

This introductory guide to supporting children with emerging needs, special educational needs, or disabilities is an essential resource for:

Governors, Owners, and Committees in the Early Years Setting
Leaders and Managers in Early Years Settings
Early Years Setting SENCo
Early Years Practitioners
Childminders
Out of School Clubs

The toolkit explains the differing roles and responsibilities and the importance of a whole setting culture for supporting children with SEND.

Assess, Plan, Do, Review Forms

The Early Years SEND Team has a range of forms available to help providers implement a Graduated Approach to meet the needs of children with emerging needs and identified SEND. A Graduated approach involves a cycle of Assess, Plan, Do, and Review. The forms below should be seen as a tool to enhance high-quality inclusive practice and a differentiated approach.

If you are a setting SENCo and you require a word version of the documents please arrange to join the SENCo Knowledge Hub, where word versions of the documents are available to download.

The Council for Disabled Children
