Request for Statutory Assessment
Online form to request statutory assessment of a child or young person.
Some children may need additional help at school.
There are a range of support measures and strategies available for children and young people within their school. It’s important to raise any concerns you have about your child with the school and work together. Often appropriate and effective support can be put in place for your child, without the need to request a statutory assessment. For more information see the Stages of Code of Practice.
If your child is still having difficulty accessing learning, despite assistance being provided by the school, or other professionals a request for consideration of a Statutory Assessment can be made.
A statutory assessment is a formal and detailed process to find out about your child’s educational needs, and what additional support they may need in school.
We will then consider all of the available information and decide on whether or not an assessment is required.
The process can be complex, but we are making our best efforts to streamline the process, and guide you through it as best we can.
Please note a request for consideration of statutory assessment does not automatically lead to a Statutory Assessment being initiated or a statement of special educational needs being provided.
