SEND support refers to the actions that a mainstream setting should take to identify and support children and young people with SEND.

There are four broad areas of need:

• communication and interaction
• cognition and learning
• social, emotional and mental health
• sensory or physical needs

The setting should use a graduated approach following a cycle of assess, plan, do and review.

All maintained schools must publish a document on their website called a SEND information report which will explain how they deliver SEND Support in their setting.
