Parent and carer guide to SEN support
A graduated approach to SEN
The national guidance (SEND Code of Practice) states that schools and settings should adopt and use a graduated approach to SEN support. There are 4 stages in this approach:
- Assess - are your child's needs fully understood?
- Plan - discuss, agree and plan the support for your child to achieve identified outcomes.
- Do - the school or setting puts the support in place.
- Review - review your child's progress to see if the strategies are helping.
Please note it may take several cycles of intervention before it is possible to identify the most effective strategies.
