Speak to your child’s nursery, school or college
Whether your child or young person is moving setting or not, you need to keep everyone informed of any changes.
If they’re not moving setting
If they move to a new GP, health care provider or social worker you must tell the school.
If they’re moving setting
If they're changing setting, make an application for the new setting as soon as possible.
Check the individual setting for:
- acceptance criteria
- deadlines to apply
If you’re moving out of Essex, check with application process with your new local council.
Meet your new SENCO
When you have a place at a new setting, ask to speak to the Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) there to discuss the transition.
Ask your old setting to provide the new SENCO with copies of all documents about your child’s current support. This will help make sure this support continues.
