SEND checklists

A collection of practical, downloadable checklists have been designed especially for education staff, teaching assistants, teachers and SEND leaders. Each tool has been designed by a local school and supports you through the Assess-Plan-Do-Review cycle, helping you explore a child or young person’s needs in more depth, reflect on what effective support might look like, and identify meaningful next steps.

Whether you are gathering initial information, reviewing progress, or planning further interventions, these checklists aim to make the process clearer, more consistent, and easier to action so you can focus on what matters most: enabling every learner to thrive.
