This form must be word processed
For each child/young person for whom the Local Authority maintains a statement of Special
Educational Needs (SEN) or Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan the education provider
should gather advice, hold a meeting and complete this review form on at least an annual
basis, recommended six monthly for a child under 5. Reviews must focus on the child or
young person’s progress towards achieving the objectives/outcomes specified in their
statement of SEN or EHC plan.
This form is also used when:
 The transfer of a statement of SEN into an EHC plan is considered
 The transfer of a Learning Needs Assessment (LNA/LDA)
 The decision has been made to hold either an additional or an early review meeting
The education provider must complete Part 1: sections 1 to 5 (boxes in orange) of this SEN
review form in advance of the review meeting.
Ideally three and at least two weeks before the review date. The educational setting must
collate and send to all those invited to attend the review meeting copies of:

The completed Part 1 of the SEN review form

The child or young person’s contribution to their review

The parental contribution to the review

The reports provided by all the professionals invited to the review
Once the review meeting has been held, the educational setting must finalise Part 2 of the
SEN review form (boxes in green). A copy of the completed SEN review form must be sent
to everyone invited to the review meeting within two weeks of the meeting. A copy of the
completed SEN review form and a copy of all of the collated reports, contributions and
supporting evidence must be sent to the SEN Assessment and Provision Team within two
weeks of the meeting.
Please refer to the SEN review guidance which has been sent directly to each school and is

pupiltransport@cornwall.gov.uk
17. Recommendations of those present at the review
In line with the Local Authority’s criteria and the child/young person’s
progress, does the statement of SEN/EHC plan need to:
Be maintained i.e. child/young person still needs a statement of SEN/EHC plan to
detail objectives/outcomes and additional support required
Be maintained but amended i.e. child/young person still needs a statement of
SEN/EHC plan to detail objectives/outcomes and additional support required but
there are significant changes and it requires updating
Be ceased i.e. the identified outcomes have been met and the child/young
person’s needs can be met from the SEN support arrangements within the setting
or the young person will no longer be in education or training
Is any further action required? i.e. has the child/young person’s SEN changed
so significantly that they require a decrease in provision, an increase in provision
or should another full statutory assessment be considered?
NB: This also includes any time limited additional resources/arrangements. Such
arrangements will automatically cease, unless up to date evidence and information
is provided for the local authority to consider. Please refer to the Review Guidelines
for further information
If any further action has been selected please provide additional details and attach
supporting evidence:
