Management Information Sheet
SEN Data Collection by Type of Need
Since January 2004 information has been collected about the numbers of pupils in the country with different types of special educational need (SEN) as part of the Pupil Level Annual Schools Census (PLASC). The data is used to help with planning, to study trends and to monitor the outcomes of initiatives and interventions for pupils with different types of SEN.
The guidance provided in June 2003 has been amended in the light of two years experience of collection and all the queries and comments received.
The descriptions in the guidance should help schools prepare for and record the data accurately, especially in categorisation of the SEN.
