In the Education Order (NI) 1996, a child is described as having special educational needs (SEN) if they have a significantly greater difficulty in learning than other children which calls for special educational provision to be made for them that is additional to or from educational provision which children of a similar age receive in an ordinary school. A child also has SEN if they have a disability that calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
A Personal Learning Plan (PLP) is created and reviewed for pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs.
