In September 2014, a new SEND Code of Practice was issued. This details the new national systems in place for children with SEND. Key points are:
 

• A person-centred approach – conversations with children and families are at the centre of decisions made about SEND provision for children.
• Multi-agency working – professionals from different agencies and parents working together to make the best provision for the child.
• Changes to categories of SEND – you may have heard the terms ‘School Action’ and ‘School Action Plus’ to describe the level of intervention a child with SEND requires; these are no longer used, there is now only one category: ‘SEND Support’.
• Changes to areas of SEND – the four areas are:
  • Communicating and Interacting
  • Cognition and Learning
  • Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties (formerly Behaviour, Emotional and Social Difficulties)
  • Sensory and/or Physical Needs (formerly Physical, Sensory and/or Medical Needs)
