Reasonable Adjustments Resource Pack

Reasonable Adjustments Toolkit for SEND, Inclusion & SENCO Teams

A practical, evidence-informed toolkit to help schools identify, implement, monitor and review reasonable adjustments based on barriers to learning rather than diagnosis.

This comprehensive resource has been designed for SENCOs, inclusion leads, teachers, support staff and school leaders working in mainstream primary and secondary settings.

Rather than focusing on specific diagnoses, the toolkit is organised around common areas of need, helping staff identify practical adjustments that can remove barriers to learning and promote meaningful inclusion for all pupils.

The resource supports a graduated approach to SEND provision and can be used for individual pupils, targeted interventions or whole-school SEND practice.
