School Checklist for Parents and Carers

Do you have a child who has special educational needs or an EHCP? The BuDS Fair4All Education team have put together a list of questions which parents and carers may find useful when visiting schools to decide which one is best for your child.

You can download the checklist below and use it in whatever way makes the most sense for you.

You can print it out to write on it, download the PDF to write on it digitally, or add your own notes straight into the document.

We have created this resource with you, as parents and carers, in mind, but we know that you know your child best. We’ve therefore given you the space to add your own questions so you can ask about the things that matter most to you.
