What is a statutory assessment?

 

Very few children will require a statutory assessment.

 

It is a detailed investigation to find out exactly what your child’s special educational needs are and what additional help your child needs.  Code of Practice.

 

Routes For Referral For Statutory Assessment

 

Referrals for Statutory Assessment are brought to the LEA’s attention via:

 

· A request for an assessment by your child’s school or setting (with supporting evidence)

· A request for an assessment from you as parents (the LEA considers supporting

  evidence and may request additional information); or

· A referral by another agency (the LEA considers supporting evidence and may request    

  additional information).
