What is a Section 23 Notifcation?

Under Section 23 of the Children and Families Act 2014, health professionals and health services have a duty to notify a Local Authority if they believe a child under school age has, or is likely to have, Special Educational Needs or a Disability (SEND).


This means that they have a legal obligation to pass on this opinion to the Local Authority so that they comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This is regardless of parental consent
