Asking for a statutory assessment

All parents want the best for their children but some children will need extra help to progress at school. If you child has has severe or complex difficulties they may need more help than a school can provide.

Your child may need a statutory assessment to find out what their difficulties are and what help they need to learn better.

Statutory Assessment is sometimes referred to as the "statementing process" as it may result in a statement of special educational needs for your child.
