SEND Services in East Riding of Yorkshire

Yorkshire and The HumberUnitary Authority

SEND support in East Riding of Yorkshire is delivered across a largely rural authority that faces significant funding challenges compared to other parts of England. East Riding receives £18 million less per year than the average local authority for SEND provision, which means families may notice differences in the range or speed of support available locally. However, the council has recently launched its SEND and Inclusion Strategy 2026-2031, demonstrating a commitment to improving outcomes and inclusion for children and young people with SEND despite these resource constraints. If you're new to navigating SEND in East Riding, the East Riding SENDIASS team (01482 396469 or [email protected]) can provide free, impartial information and advice to help you understand your child's rights and the support available to them.

In East Riding's resource-stretched SEND landscape, JakTrack empowers families to feel prepared and in control by quietly building a rich picture of your child's daily patterns over time - starting early means those insights grow stronger with every entry. You'll walk into meetings with SENDIASS or EHCP reviews supported by clear, personal evidence that speaks for itself, easing the worry of slower local support. It's like having a steady companion that turns the overwhelm into quiet confidence for you and your child. see how JakTrack can help

Understanding school SEND provision

Schools in England provide SEND support at different levels. Here's what each type means:

Specialist School

A school that exclusively educates children with SEND. Smaller classes (typically 6-12 pupils), staff trained in specific needs, and environments designed for children who need more support than mainstream can provide. Places are usually named in an EHCP.

SEN Unit

A dedicated unit within a mainstream school, staffed by specialists. Children are on the roll of the unit but may join mainstream classes for some lessons. Offers a middle ground - specialist support with mainstream social opportunities. Usually requires an EHCP.

Resource Base

Extra resourced provision attached to a mainstream school. Children are on the mainstream roll but can access additional support, equipment, and specialist staff. Some resource bases focus on specific needs like autism or speech and language.

SEN Support (Mainstream)

Every mainstream school has a legal duty to identify and support children with SEND. This includes having a SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), providing reasonable adjustments, and putting in place SEN Support plans. You don't need an EHCP for SEN Support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from families about SEND support in East Riding of Yorkshire.

If you think your child needs an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) because they are not making expected progress despite extra help at school, start by talking to their nursery, school, or college. You can then request an EHC needs assessment directly from East Riding of Yorkshire Council using their online request form. The SEND team will review your request within six weeks and contact you to discuss the next steps.
East Riding SENDIASS is a free Information, Advice and Support Service for parents, carers, children, and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). They can help with understanding your child's needs, the EHCP process, finding local services, and your rights if you disagree with decisions. Contact them at (01482) 396469 or [email protected] for impartial advice.
East Riding of Yorkshire has 9 specialist schools for children with SEND, plus 5 schools with SEN units and 15 with resource bases. These provisions support the 2,538 pupils with EHCPs out of 45,951 total pupils. You can find more details on the East Riding Local Offer website.
The Local Offer is a guide to all the SEND services, support, and provisions available in East Riding of Yorkshire for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

Once your request for an EHC needs assessment is received, the team has up to six weeks to decide if an assessment is needed.
