12-11-2025 What Support should my child receive in school?

Our Voice held a webinar on Wednesday 12th November, looking at school support for children with additional needs, within mainstream schools. 

The session looked at:

• What does school support look like?
• Understand what Ordinarily Available Provision (OAP) is
• Looking at the Ordinarily Available Provision Guidance for parents and explaining how you can use this document.

The Ordinarily Available Provision guidance for parents was published last year by the Local Authority (Schools Improvement Service) with input from Our Voice. It sits alongside ‘Ordinarily Available Provision’ guidance for mainstream schools and SENCOs, which sets out what they are meant to do to support children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

The guidance gives important information about how schools should identify and support young people with SEND, how you can raise concerns as a parent and what you should do if you think your child is not getting the support they need.
