Every school must publish a special educational needs (SEN) information report setting out how it implements its policy for pupils with SEN. Regulations set out what information must be included, so schools must describe their approach to teaching pupils with SEN and how they make adaptations to the curriculum for these pupils. It is for each school to determine the level of detail about these matters in the information it publishes.

Every local authority must also publish a local offer of its SEN provision. This should include the special educational provision made available to mainstream schools, including therapies such as speech and language therapy where they educate or train a child or young person.
