SEND
Everyone learns and experiences life in their own way. For some young people, this means needing a bit of extra support at school, college, or in day-to-day life. That’s where SEND support comes in to help you feel confident, achieve your goals, and enjoy life.
SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This includes a wide range of conditions that might affect:
- Learning – like dyslexia or difficulties with understanding information
- Physical abilities – like needing equipment to help move around
- Mental health or emotion wellbeing – like ADHD of autism
- Communication – like speech delays or finding it hard to express yourself
Looking after your health with SEND
Caring for your physical and mental health is important.
- Talk to someone: It’s okay to share how you’re feeling with a trusted adult or friend.
- Stay Active: Find activities you enjoy that suits your needs.
- Ask for help: Whether it’s about school, friends, or managing your health, support is available.
