Continuing with the ‘Assess, Plan, Do, Review’ approach, staff / parents raise their level of concern to a support plan. Formal termly meetings take place with parents/carers, class teacher, support staff, SENCO and any relevant external agencies would also be invited. The plan describes the nature of the difficulties the child may have, provision that school will make and an agreed set of outcomes will be included to meet the needs of the pupil. At this point, it may be necessary for school to seek external agency support, such as an Educational Psychologist, Speech and Language Therapist etc. to offer further advice and support for school. The SENCO is responsible for ensuring outcomes in the plan are addressed and resources are available in order to support the pupil.
