Swindon core standards for SEND

Our core standards outline the expected provision in education settings for children and young people with SEND.

The provision covers:

• the initial identification of possible barriers to a child or young person’s learning
• what provision should be available as part of the universal offer (what is available to every child and young person through Quality First Teaching)
• identification of SEND
• what provision should be available at SEN Support
• the assess, plan, do, review approach to meeting need
• evidencing the assess, plan, do, review approach and the graduated response to SEND

The core standards document is available as a downloadable PDF comprising six sections:

1. What are the core standards?
