These Regulations place a duty on local education authorities to publish information about matters relating to the provision of education for children with special educational needs.

In particular they are required to publish an explanation of that part of special educational provision that they expect maintained schools to fund from their budget shares, and that element that they expect to fund themselves.

They must also publish information about the broad aims of their policy on special educational needs, as well as specific action they are taking on special educational needs issues.
