SEND resource provisions are specialised support services provided within mainstream schools to help children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These provisions offer tailored support to meet the individual needs of learners, enabling them to access the curriculum and participate fully in school life. The support may include specialised teaching, access to specific resources, and assistance from trained staff. The goal is to ensure that learners with SEND can achieve their full potential in an inclusive environment.
