Special Educational Needs

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether Individual Support Plans for people with Special Educational Needs will refer to specific conditions and include structures based on specific conditions, or make generic points about additional support for people with Special Education Needs.

Answer

Individual Support Plans (ISPs) will be tailored to the individual child. They will be developed by settings together with parents and young people, giving every child or young person with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) a clear and consistent record of their needs and the help they receive so that support is joined‑up, timely and centred on what will help them to thrive.

ISPs will set out key information, such as a child or young person’s identified needs, provision, intended outcomes and any reasonable adjustments, as applicable.
