Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Support, Assessment and Review Team (SEND SAR)

The SEND Support, Assessment and Review (SAR) Team is made up of caseworkers. We help manage Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) including assessments and reviews. We do this by:

  • communicating with and updating parents and carers
  • managing EHC assessments and reviews
  • collecting and sharing advice and reports from professionals during an EHC assessment
  • updating information about a child or young person on our system
  • writing and updating a child or young person's EHCP
  • and more

You will be supported by caseworkers in the SEND SAR team during the process of an EHCP, assessment and review. 

You can find more details on our SEND SAR - Service to Schools page.
