The information provided on this form will, alongside other advice, help the LEA in 2 ways. Firstly, to decide whether the criteria for issuing a statement have been met (Code of Practice 4:1 - 4:9) and, secondly, to determine the level of resourcing necessary to meet the child’s special educational needs (Code of Practice 4:10 - 4:12).

The information here builds on the evidence you supplied at the time of the request for a statutory assessment, so it is essential that any significant change in the child’s difficulties since the initial referral is highlighted in this report.

Please note that a copy of this report and of the original referral form will be sent to parents/carers as appendices to any statement of special educational needs or note in lieu of a statement.

Please return this form to: SEN Section, 3rd Floor, City Hall, College Green, Bristol BS99 7EB
