Preparing for a meeting

Before a meeting, you may want to prepare by gathering examples of your child or young person’s progress and/or difficulties. This may be from:

  • School, college or home work
  • School or college reports
  • Any professional reports
  • Behaviour or mood at home
  • Concentration, physical skills, social relationships
  • Details of any other support your child or young person may have had at a previous setting
  • A profile from a Dimensions report you have completed for your child or young person

It helps to write down any questions, for example:

  • Has the educational setting experienced any or some of these difficulties?
  • Have any assessments been carried out to find out more?
  • How do they measure a child or young person’s progress?
  • Is your child or young person making the progress they would expect?
  • Is your child or young person receiving any extra help currently?
  • How can we work together?
  • What can I do as a parent at home to help my child or young person?

It is a good idea to familiarise yourself with the setting’s SEND policy and SEN information report. These will be displayed on their website.

All mainstream educational settings must:

  • Make reasonable adjustments for SEND
  • Prevent discrimination and promote equality
  • Support pupils with medical conditions
