Contents of a Statement

 

Before the LEA’s SEN officer writes a final Statement, you will be sent a ‘Proposed Statement’. All the parts listed below will be filled in, except the name of the school in Part 4 which will be left blank.

 

Part 1 gives your own and your child’s name and address, your child’s date of birth, home language and religion

 

Part 2 gives details of all of your child’s special educational need (difficulties) as identified in the statutory assessment

 

Part 3 describes:

 

  • what the objectives of the arrangements (provision) are
  • all the additional help that the LEA thinks your child should receive to meet the needs listed in part 2
  • the arrangements for setting short-term goals, regularly reviewing your child’s progress toward those goals, and how your child’s progress is to be monitored

 

Part 4 tells you about the school your child will attend to get the additional help set out in part 3, or arrangements for education other than a school.

 

Part 5 describes any non-educational needs your child has, as agreed between the LEA and the health services, social services or other agencies

 

Part 6 describes how your child will get help to meet the non-educational needs described in part 5
