SEND Code of Practice mapping
For SENCOs, head teachers and SEN governors · Last reviewed June 2026
This page maps each NeuroKids feature to a specific paragraph of the statutory SEND Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years so school leaders can justify deployment under their existing SEND policy and graduated-approach framework. NeuroKids does not replace any statutory process — it provides the evidence base, parent engagement and SMART target generation that the Code expects.
§ 6 — Schools
6.44 — Graduated approach: Assess, Plan, Do, Review
Daily check-ins · Progress timeline · Weekly digest · EHCP review pack
Parents and SENCOs see live evidence at each cycle stage. Weekly digest replaces hand-written "Do" notes; review pack auto-builds at term-end.
§ 6 — Schools
