What is a statement?
A statement of special needs is a document prepared by the local authority under section 324 of the Education Act 1996. The local authority normally prepares a statement when it decides that the special education provision necessary to meet the child's needs cannot reasonably be provided by ordinary schools in the area.
(Special Education Handbook, Michael Farrell, 2003)
