I know I have read somewhere that LEA's have an obligation to provide support to enable a SEN child to access extra curricular activities alongside their classmates. Does anybody know where I can find it?

You could try the SEN code of practice. If you google it, it'll come up as an online version. HTH Smile

Try the Disability and Discrimination Act - schools receive guidance through the document Disability Rights Commission Code of Practice for schools (you could always ask them for a copy.

You need to look at the 'Education and Associated Services', which covers educational and schools clubs, sports, breakfast and after school clubs, inter school sports, excursions etc.

Acts are 'grounded in law' therefore more meaningful and more likely to be adhered to than the SEN COP, which is more guidance.
