The Department for Education guidance has been developed in collaboration with Dingley’s Promise in response to concerns among the sector that assessment processes for children with SEND can be time consuming and ‘often not fit for purpose’.
The guidance links directly to the areas of need highlighted in the EYFS and has practical tools and resources to support the assessment process.
