SEN response to Covid-19
These pages have been created as a response to the Covid-19 situation from March 2020. This is a temporary part of the website, created to support:
- SENCOs
- Headteachers
- everyone else involved in the statutory arrangements for special educational needs (SEN)
This is as set out in the SEND Code of Practice: 0 to 25 2015.
The local authority is fully committed to working in partnership with:
- families
- all educational settings
- other agencies
This is to promote the safety, educational progress and wellbeing of children and young people with SEN.
FAQ approach

Please contact StatutorySEN@cornwall.gov.uk for urgent support in relation to:

Your message will be forwarded to the most appropriate, available member of staff.
Key topics of interest we will be covering:

Guidance for schools and settings named in children and young people’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans
We have created a response summary document for use by staff in educational settings, which we hope you find useful. Please email tffcommunications@cornwall.gov.uk to feedback and enable us to respond to emergent needs.
Staff from across our services have been making wellbeing calls to families. We have focused on those with children and young people who have education, health and care (EHC) plans. This is as a response to the COVID 19 pandemic. It has been a privilege to speak with so many families and young people. Most families have really appreciated the contact. We have had some good feedback and acted quickly to support, if the feedback suggests improvement. Most families have been contacted. If we have not been able to get hold of everyone, this is for practical reasons. Including the changes each week in who has an EHC plan. If you have not had a phone call and would like to speak about your son or daughter’s education, please send a message to statutorySEN@cornwall.gov.uk. You wil need to leave a suitable phone number and someone will make that call.
Briefing notes
If you have immediate concerns or are worried about a child or young person's safety please telephone the Multi Agency Referral Unit (MARU) on 0300 123 1116
