SEND identification pathway diagram

Want a clear, simple way to explain how your school identifies children with SEND?

This one-page SEND Identification Pathway provides a visual overview of the process we use to identify, assess and support children who may have SEND.

An essential resource under the new Ofsted inspection framework

We found this particularly useful during our recent Ofsted inspection, helping us to clearly demonstrate how SEND is identified and how concerns move from initial identification through to appropriate support and monitoring.

What you’ll receive:

A clear, one-page visual SEND identification pathway
A simple overview of the key stages in the identification process
A resource that can support conversations with staff, leaders and families
A practical example of how one school has structured its SEND identification process

Please note: This is not an editable file. It is provided as an example and is intended to inspire you when creating your own school’s SEND identification pathway, which can then be adapted to reflect your own systems, policies and local context.

Ideal for SENCos and school leaders who want to strengthen their SEND systems and be able to clearly articulate how children with SEND are identified, supported and monitored.

Simple • Visual • Practical • Ofsted-ready
