One example stood out to me: a family contacted me to say that they have other children in state schools, but one was not getting on well so they chose to put them into a private school. Only at that point did the private school contact the SEND department at the state school to find out whether any support had been put in place. It turns out that their child had completed a range of assessments, and had performed quite poorly—well below the acceptable levels for processing and comprehension—but even so, no additional support had been put in place apart from awarding extra time, because it was simply not possible.
