You Smiled and Nodded When They Said "SEN Support"
But you have no idea what it actually means for your child.
You just left the meeting with your child's SENCO.
They said your child will be getting "SEN Support."
You nodded. You smiled. You said thank you.
But before you even got to your car, the panic set in:
❌ What does SEN Support actually mean?
❌ Will they get pulled out of class? Have a different teacher?
❌ What's the difference between this and an EHCP?
❌ How do I know if it's actually helping?
❌ What if the school says they're doing something but nothing changes?
You're not alone.
88% of children with SEND in the UK are on SEN Support, not EHCPs.
And most parents walk out of that meeting with zero clarity on what happens next.
