Consulting with SEND

Consultation with Children with SEND

Teachers/SENCO and Support Staff will work with children and young people to identify the support needed to meet agreed outcomes. The provision is planned and interventions are allocated to individual needs. The children take an active role with setting their outcomes, discussing them with the class teacher/SENCO. The children have regular meetings with support staff to discuss their progress and support.

There are a variety of ways we seek the views of all of our children such as School Ambassadors and during JIGSAW time.

Consultation with parents/carers of children and young people with SEND

We are committed to working with parents and carers to identify their child’s needs and support. Parents and carers will be involved throughout the process.

There is a range of ways this can be done, for example:

• Termly parents/ carers evenings;
• Ongoing discussions with a class teacher and/or SENCO;
• An ‘open-door’ policy, where parents and carers are welcome to come into school to discuss any concerns they may have;
• Through a review of a child’s SEN Support Plan or the Annual Review of their Statement of SEN or EHC Plan.
