Matching Provision to Need for Children with SEND

If your child needs additional support in school, Manchester City Council has produced guidance about the different levels of support schools should be providing to meet your child's needs. This guidance is called the Matching Provision to Need Tool (MPNT) and there are a set of tools for children in 0-5 years, aged 5-14 years and 14-25 years. Please click on the three downloads on this page, according to the age of your child.

You can ask for information and support with these tools from your school special educational needs coordinator (SENCo), your child's teacher, or you can contact the IAS Manchester.

Whatever the age of your child you can contact the Special Educational Needs and Disability, Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) Manchester confidential Helpline for information or advice.
