Policies (the rules we set out for what we do in a particular situation)

• Policy and Process for Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Personal Budgets and Direct Payments – 2019 – How personal budgets are to be identified and requested, and options for delivery as a Direct Payment to help children, young people and their families secure special educational provision in the EHCP.
• Draft Eligibility Criteria for Assessment by the Children with Disabilities Service – Describes the referral and assessment process within the Children with Disabilities Service. It also describes the level of need and potential interventions that may be available to a family following an assessment taking place.
• Somerset Local Authority policy for children unable to attend school because of health needs – How children with health needs that prevent access to education in school are identified and what provision can be put in place prior to reintegration back to school.
