Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Support for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)

We work with local partners to support children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and their families. Cognus Limited (which is an organisation wholly owned by the Council) delivers most of this support, in partnership with the Local Authority, the NHS, schools and other local organisations.

Support

The SEND Local Offer has information and resources for children and young people with SEND and their families. It is located on a website called the Sutton Information Hub.

Our SEND Reform and Improvement plan

In October 2026, the Department for Education approved our SEND Reform Plan. We are publishing this alongside our Ofsted and Care Quality Commission (CQC) Priority Action Plan to set out our shared vision and commitments for strengthening SEND services across Sutton.
