This is the person from the Local Authority who liaises with parents over all the arrangements relating to statutory
assessment and the making of a statement. LAs will inform parents of the identity of the officer when they issue a notice of a proposal to make a statutory assessment of a
child.
This is the person whom the Local Authority must identify when sending parents a final version of a statement. The
named person, who should usually be identified in cooperation with the parents, must be someone who can give parents information and
advice about their
child's
SENs. He or she may be appointed at the start of the
assessment process and can then attend meetings with parents and encourage parental participation throughout that process. The named person should normally be independent of the LA and may be someone from a
voluntary organisation or parent partnership scheme.

advice received during the assessment should be attached to the note sent to the parents and, with their consent, also be sent to the child's school.
