    Special Educational Needs covers the support, assessment and planning for children and young people who require additional help to access education. In England, this often involves the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities framework, Education, Health and Care Plans, and local authority duties to identify needs, fund or coordinate provision, and monitor progress. A solicitor in this area drafts and reviews Education, Health and Care needs assessments, advises on disputed plans, and represents clients at appeals and tribunals when necessary. The work is shaped by what benefits the child, family and school require to achieve educational outcomes.
