SEND IASS - Top tips for meetings factsheet

After the meeting you should:

• email brief notes back to the teacher or SENCO as written evidence of what was agreed at the meeting
• include timescales and ask for the teacher or SENCO to confirm these are accurate - evidence is key
• suggest that a date is set for a review meeting even if it is the next term
• note ways that help you to support your child, while still feeling comfortable
• follow up on agreed actions if necessary
• ask for a copy of the meeting notes and if you disagree with them then make your case to the author so they know
• write a letter of thanks with any agreed actions included if no notes are taken so there is a written record of the meeting outcomes
• keep all paperwork in a file so you can refer to it at a later stage if necessary
