ISEND Front Door referrals

The Inclusion Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (ISEND) Front Door is the pathway through which schools and education providers can request support for children and young people with additional and/or special educational needs and disabilities.

This should be seen as 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.

Front Door referral forms

There are three versions of the Front Door referral form covering the different stages of education. 

Early Years information gathering form 

Primary information gathering form (Reception to Year 6) 

Secondary information gathering form (Year 7 to Year 11+) 

Sensory Needs Personal Data Consent Form  - this form needs to be completed for children with sensory needs. 

This factsheet should be shared with the family.

How to submit

You can save the form to your computer (using the 'save as' feature) and complete it as needed over time. You can then email the completed form to the ISEND Front Door email (ISENDfrontdoor@eastsussex.gov.uk) along with any additional information and/or documents using secure email.
