SEN Screening Document

Trying to decide if a child should be on the SEND Register or not? This document can help! Covering the areas of Cognition & Learning, Social Communication, Speech and Language, SEMH and Physical/Sensory Needs, it is a checklist of areas that pupils with SEND may struggle with. Used by SENCos in discussion with people who know the child best, it can be a useful tool to decide whether a child needs to be placed on the SEND register. There are no hard and fast rules about how many ‘needs’ need to be ticked off to be placed on the register but instead should be used as a discussion tool to talk about a child’s needs. I use this document once teachers have filled in the SEN Concern form and tried focused, short term interventions with the child if there is still a level of concern.
