The Buckinghamshire iSEND team consists of teams of professionals including Educational Psychologists, Specialist Teachers, Education, Health and Care Coordinators (EHCCos), SEND Inclusion Advisors and other specialised professionals. These individuals work collaboratively to assess, plan, implement and review, personalized support for children and young people with SEND.

The primary role of the iSEND Service is to ensure that children and young people with SEND, at a SEN Support level or those with an EHCP, have access to the appropriate educational opportunities that meet their individual needs. They work closely with settings to facilitate inclusive education and promote an inclusive learning environment for all.

The iSEND Service collaborates with parents, carers, and professionals to assess and identify the specific needs of children and young people with SEND. They contribute to the development and implementation of Education, Health, and Care Plans (EHCPs), which outline the support and provision required to meet the individual's needs.

Additionally, the iSEND Service offers advice and guidance to parents and educational staff regarding the provision of specialised support, interventions, and accommodations for students with SEND. They provide training and professional development opportunities for educators to enhance their understanding and skills in supporting children and young people with additional needs.

The iSEND Service plays a crucial role in coordinating and facilitating the transition process for children and young people with SEND as they move between educational stages or transition into adulthood. They ensure continuity of support and services during these transitions and work closely with other agencies and service providers, such as health and social care professionals.
