A child has a special educational need or disability (SEND) if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
A child of compulsory school age or a young person has a learning difficulty or disability if they:
a) have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than the majority of others of the same age; or

The banding documents describe good practice and entitlement across all areas of need. They aim to ensure clarity, consistency and transparency for schools, parents, practitioners, the Education, Health and Care Plan Panel, and the equitable use of finite resources.
The plan will then be implemented for a period of time before it is reviewed again.
The plan will be reviewed by parents/carers, the student and teachers. The review will be looking at:
