LOCAL GUIDANCE

Areas We Cover

SEND Lantern provides independent SEND guidance and helps families find relevant information and support across a growing number of areas. Your home area, the local authority responsible for a child’s SEND or EHCP process, and the authority for an education setting may not be the same. Use the local guidance below alongside the correct local-authority information for your situation.

Independent guidance for families
