SEND Application Process

Apply for a SEND course

The SENCO at your school will support the student to complete a permission form which is sent to the local authority.

• The SEN department at the Local Authority will then send the college a formal consultation letter and a copy of the student’s EHCP and Annual Reviews.
• The college SEND department then reviews this information and arranges interviews or an observation to help make the decision about whether the college can meet the students’ needs.
• The college informs the local authority whether they can support the young persons’ needs.
• You should also make an application to the college at the same time.
