Some children and young people have health and other difficulties which means that they require additional support and opportunities to meet their individual educational needs.
The City Council's website provides details about Special Needs and Inclusion provision in Coventry including information about special schools and the SEN and Inclusion Support Services (external website) listed below.
These services work together with children and young people (particularly those regarded as vulnerable, or with special needs), their schools, their parents/carers, and others.
Nurses in special schools and mainstream schools (external website) help to provide specialist support needed by pupils who have particular medical conditions and health issues. Further information about medical conditions including life limiting conditions is available elsewhere in this directory.
