The assessment takes into account the child's educational, medical, nursing, social and other needs and the information is carefully co-ordinated so that a judgement can be made as to whether or not a statement of special educational needs should be issued. A moderating group which includes headteachers, educational psychologist and representatives from health and social services has been set up to assist the LEA in determining whether or not a statement of special educational needs should be issued.
