As a health professional, use the online form to notify us of a child under compulsory school age who may have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) under Section 23 of the Children and Families Act 2014 (known as Health Education Notices or HENS).
You will need to provide:
- the child's details
- the parent or carer's contact details
- confirmation we have consent from someone with parental responsibility
- information about the child’s early years setting (if applicable)
Only use this form if you are a health professional.
We will use this information to plan education services effectively. This will help to make sure that there are enough education places in the right areas, along with the necessary support to meet the needs of all children and young people with SEND in the future.
