🗺️ What to do next

1

Fill in the template

Open the document and work through each section. Be as specific as possible — include dates, professional names, and examples of your child's difficulties. Vague letters are easier to dismiss.

2

Gather your supporting documents

School reports, SEN Support plans, speech therapy or OT reports, GP letters — attach everything you have. Don't have reports yet? You can still send the letter and ask the LA to commission assessments.

3

Send it — and keep a record

Email to your local authority's SEN team (for Kent: sen@kent.gov.uk) and request a read receipt. Or post it Signed For. The 6-week clock starts from the date they receive it.
