The 0-25 Code of Practice, for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, will come into force on 1 September, replacing the current code.
The new statutory guidance - the Code of Practice - applies to early education providers, school staff, headteachers, governing bodies, SEN co-ordinators, health and social services staff and local authorities.
It provides statutory guidance on duties, policies and procedures relating to part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014 and associated regulations, which comes into effect in September.
It replaces the 2001 document and includes for the first time a dedicated chapter for early years providers explaining what they must do to meet their duties to identify and support all children with SEN, whether or not they have an EHC plan.
