SEND Provision Questionnaire

The Local Authority has a remit under the SEND Code of Practice (SENDCoP) 2015 to identify all the children and young people in Norfolk who have SEND. Educational providers have an important role to play in cooperating with us to carry out this function. (SENDCoP 1.14, 1.15 and 6.8)
