Special Educational Needs and Disability Service
Children have special educational needs (SEN) if they have difficulties in one or more of the following areas:
- Learning.
- Communication.
- Behaviour.
- Hearing.
- Visual.
- Physical ability.
Liverpool is committed to including as many SEN children, as possible, in mainstream education.
Most SEN children attend their local school and are educated with other children of the same age.
Our aim is to create inclusive schools so that all children and young people can be educated in their local school.
We are working to improve achievement by our SEN pupils and young people.
