<p>It is for local clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) to assess the needs of the
local populations they serve. CCGs work with their local providers to gain an understanding
of the nature of local provision, and the part it should play in their future commissioning
plans.</p><p> </p><p>The Children and Families Act has introduced new arrangements
for supporting young people with a special educational need and disability, including
dyspraxia, and their families. A single assessment involving professionals and commissioners,
and the child's family, will identify the care needs for the child or young person
(from ages 0 to 25) to inform an individual Education, Health and Care Plan focusing
on outcomes and the integrated services to deliver them.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
is committed to ensuring all children and young people should be supported to achieve
their best, regardless of their disability or circumstances. The new special educational
needs and disability (SEND) Code of Practice due to come into force in September,
sets out clear guidance for educational settings on the process for appropriate identifying,
assessing and securing further support for children with SEND which can include those
with dyspraxia. Through the Code we are ensuring all educational settings have arrangements
in place for monitoring the progress of all pupils and responding quickly to their
needs.</p><p> </p><p>Chapter 6 of the draft Code of Practice makes specific reference
to dyspraxia amongst examples of conditions that educational settings should be aware
of when planning SEND provisions.</p>
