ISEND Front Door referrals
The Inclusion Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (ISEND) Front Door is a way schools and education providers can request support for children and young people with additional and/or special educational needs and disabilities.
This is the single point of contact for schools to:
- access any non-traded or core work for children who are not already open cases to the service
- request statutory assessment.
