Course summary:
The SEND code of Practice (2014) refers to an outcome as follows;
“An outcome can be defined as the benefit or difference made to an individual as a result of an intervention.” (Section 9.66)
Outcomes are the opportunity for everyone involved in the child’s support to plan realistic steps that are needed to enable the child or young person to achieve longer term goals and aspirations.

Our special needs evenings were introduced in 2009 after customer comments on how best some of our users might access our activities. Started as a pilot scheme in Milton Keynes for local families with children and adults with special needs, this not for profit event quickly became a regular fixture in the local calendar. Brothers, sisters and friends are all welcome to join in the fun after hours with the freedom and comfort of knowing that the time is suited to them.
