SEND Support in Surrey
Practical SEND guidance for families in Surrey, with current statutory routes through Surrey County Council and clear local signposting.
Which Local Authority applies to you?
Surrey County Council is responsible for current Surrey SEND and EHCP routes. Your home area and school authority can be different, so follow the authority responsible for the case.
Surrey County Council
Surrey County Council is the current statutory authority for Surrey SEND and EHCP matters. SEND Advice Surrey provides the current information, advice and support route. Last reviewed: August 2026.
Local government in Surrey is due to change in April 2027. This page reflects the services responsible now and will be reviewed as responsibilities transfer.
