For children with special educational needs or disability (SEND), these risk factors are much more likely to be present, with the protective factors more likely to be absent. It is therefore really important to consider the emotional health and wellbeing of children with SEND. For more information on how to support families, please see the Derby SEND Healthy Minds Network information and materials here.
