Identifying children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities

Section 22: Identifying children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities

172.This section places a duty on local authorities to identify all those children and young people in their area who have or may have special educational needs or disabilities. Children and young people can be brought to the attention of the local authority by their parents, their school or college, or other professionals, for example a social worker, General Practitioner, health visitor, teacher, early years professional or a further education tutor.

173.This section is based on, but differs from, sections 13(5) and 321 of the Education Act 1996 and will apply in England. The Education Act provisions will be repealed in relation to England when these provisions come into force.

Section 23: Duty of health bodies to bring certain children to local authority’s attention

174.The section replicates section 332 of the Education Act 1996 and extends it to disabled children. Where a clinical commissioning group (CCG), NHS Trust or NHS Foundation Trust, in carrying out their functions in relation to a child under compulsory school age, are of the opinion that the child has or probably has special educational needs or a disability they must tell the child’s parents and give them the chance to discuss this with an officer of the group or trust. They must then tell the appropriate local authority. They must also tell the parent if they think a particular voluntary organisation is likely to be able to give them advice or assistance in respect of their child’s special educational needs or disability. This section helps to ensure that young children who may need special educational provision or information and support in relation to a disability are brought to the local authority’s attention early on.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.

Asesiadau Effaith

Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:

  • Why the government is proposing to intervene;
  • The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
  • How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
  • The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
