EHCP DROP IN SESSION - SEND SURVEY - SOLIHULL PARENT CARER VOICE
On 26th June, from 9.30am - 12pm, the Solihull Council EHCP Service will be holding a Drop-In Session for Parent/Carers, at The Loft, Chelmsley Wood. This is a great opportunity to talk about your individual child/young person - whether they have an EHCP or not.
Solihull Parent Carer Voice, are currently undertaking the Annual SEND Survey - this is your opportunity to tell us what you think of SEND Services in Solihull, and give us your thoughts on how things can be improved. The results of the survey will be collated into a report that will be presented at Children's Services, Education and Skills Scrutiny Board in September. It is really important that we gather as many responses as possible, so we would be really grateful if you could please complete the survey. (This can be completed once for each child/young person.)
The link to the survey is: https://forms.office.com/r/VDpmQYX2n1
If you would like to contact us to find out more about what we do, please do get in touch with us at enquiries@spcv.org.uk
Best wishes,
Solihull Parent Carer Voice C.I.C
On 1st September 2014, new legislation came into effect for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities [SEND]. The SEND Code of Practice: 0-25 years (DfE, January 2015) provides schools with statutory guidance to ensure that the right provision is provided for all pupils with SEND so that they succeed with their education and make a successful transition to adulthood.
What Does It Mean If My Child Is Identified As Having SEND?
If your child is identified as having a special educational need, you will be informed by our Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator [SENDCo], Mrs Tyler. With your consent, your child will be added to our school SEND register at ‘SEN Support’. An Individual Provision Map will be created for your child, outlining targets relating to their personal area/s of need. These will be reviewed during meetings at the end of every term with you, your child and their class teacher.
What Are The Different Areas of SEND?
The needs of a child with SEND will fall under one or more of these four areas, as outlined in the SEND Code of Practice:
- Communication and Interaction
- Cognition and Learning
- Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties
- Sensory and/or Physical needs
What Support Will My Child Get In School?
Every child at Kingshurst Primary School receives quality first teaching within the classroom but for those pupils who may require further support, additional help may be provided through individual or group interventions. Resources may also be provided to support your child with their learning in the classroom.
A referral may also be made to an outside agency to seek further advice and support for your child. Parental consent is always gained before any referral is made.
How do we make sure our provision is as good as it can be?
We monitor our provision through regular reviews with parents, data analysis, work scrutiny and lesson observations. We monitor pupil progress and review the success and impact of interventions and provision maps.
Who do I talk to if I am worried about my child or the provision offered?
A parent’s first point of contact is always the class teacher. Most concerns can be easily addressed this way but if you would prefer you can talk to the SENDCo (Mrs Tyler). The school encourages parents to share their concerns.
