If by
the third School Action Plus review the childs progress is deemed
not to be satisfactory, the Headteacher on the advice of the
SENCO and the Educational Psychologist should consider advising
the LEA that a statutory assessment may be necessary to meet
the childs educational needs.
In exceptional circumstances, this may happen in less time. |
| There
needs to be: |
| written
information on: |
- educational and other assessments,
eg specialists, educational psychologists;
- views of the parents and the child;
- childs health;
- social services / educational
welfare involvement;
|
| written
information of: |
- school action under the three
stages; (Sheet A,B);
- IEPs for the child (all should
be retained);
- Regular reviews and their outcomes;
(review proforma for each review);
- Involvement of other professionals
(recorded on Sheet B).
|
| Routes
for referral: |
- referral by the school / another
agency;
- a formal request for an assessment
by a parent.
|
| Notice
of a proposal to make an assessment. |
| The steps
in the whole process are: |
- considering whether a statutory
assessment is necessary
- making an assessment
- drafting the proposed statement
or not to make a statement
- finalising the statement
|
| Future action |
- continue at School Action Plus
Stage, set new targets if no statement is issued;
- move to Statement Stage.
|
| Child has a legally
binding statement of Special Educational Needs. |
