What happens after the statutory assessment?

When the AEN officer has collected all the advice and comments about your child's educational needs, we will decide whether or not to write a statement of SEN for your child.

The decision is made by the County Panel (a group of senior representatives from the Pupil Services Division). They will consider the evidence very carefully and decide what help your child needs.

As part of this, they will decide whether or not to issue a statement of special educational needs.
