Supporting SEND provision requires careful planning and development across education estates. As provision evolves, estate teams must adapt and enhance existing spaces, while delivering new environments that remain appropriate, flexible and fit for purpose, including SEMH settings.

Surveyors to Education (S2e) have extensive experience supporting estates that accommodate school SEND provision. We advise on how environments can be planned and developed to respond to changing provision and provide clear, practical estates advice to help estate teams move forward with confidence.

From adaptation and reconfiguration to new provision, we support informed decisions and provide assurance to senior leaders and governing bodies.

Typical projects and support in practice include:

  • Development of estate strategies and masterplans that incorporate SEND provision

  • Adaptation and reconfiguration of existing spaces to create appropriate SEND environments

  • Planning and delivery of new specialist facilities and extensions where required

  • Condition surveys and planned maintenance strategies to support long-term suitability

  • Support with project delivery across live education sites, with careful planning to minimise disruption

  • Health and safety advice tailored to SEND environments, including reviews of spaces, layouts and suitability

  • Compliance support and assurance across estates supporting SEND provision

If you are responsible for managing education estates that support SEND provision, our team of education specialists can provide the clarity and support needed to plan confidently and develop environments that are safe, appropriate and sustainable.
