Questions for governors/trustees to ask about SEND

  • General
  • 01 Oct 2023

This resource has questions for school governors or trustees to ask their SENCO and other senior executive leaders about SEND.

All governing boards have specific legal responsibilities for pupils with SEND. Being able to offer constructive challenge to the school depends upon knowing, first of all, what questions to ask. This resource is a useful starting point with examples of key questions that governors or trustees could ask of their school.

This resource was first published in May 2019 and was last reviewed in October 2023.
