Moving home with a Statement of SEN in Northern Ireland
If you move home, tell the Education Authority and school promptly and keep your own complete copy of the Statement, annual reviews and professional advice.
Northern Ireland has its own SEN framework and Statements of Special Educational Needs. England EHCP guidance does not apply.
Notify the right teams
Give the new address and moving date to the relevant EA SEN contact and school, and ask whether placement or transport arrangements are affected.
Keep a complete record
Retain the current Statement, amendments, review reports and correspondence so there is no reliance on records being transferred instantly.
Track support continuity
Record any interruption in provision or transport and raise it promptly in writing.
