Special Educational Needs and High Needs Funding Within Schools The new Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (2015) and the School Funding Reforms (2013) have significantly changed both Special Educational Needs practice and the manner in which funding is provided to children with Special Educational Needs. SEND Code of Practice (2015) The aims of the new SEND Code of Practice include:

Children’s SEN being picked up early and support routinely being put in place quickly;

Staff having the knowledge, understanding and skills to provide the right support for children and young people who have SEN or are disabled;

Parents knowing what they can reasonably expect their local school, college, LA & local services to provide, without having to fight for it;

Aspirations for children and young people being raised through an increased focus on life outcomes, including employment;

An integrated assessment and a single Education, Health and Care Plan for children and young people with more complex needs from birth to 25; and

Greater control for parents and young people over the services they and their family use. For Early Years settings, schools and colleges the key changes include:

‘SEN Support’ and the use of a graduated approach; an assess, plan, do, review cycle replacing ‘school action’ and ‘school action plus’

Schools having to produce and publish online a School SEN Information Report

Schools needing to inform parents when pupils receive SEN support, involving them in planning and reviews of progress and meeting with them at least 3 times each year

Settings, schools and colleges having to admit a child/young person, where the school/college is named in an EHC plan

Schools having to appoint a suitably qualified or experienced member of staff as SENCO (National Award)

Early Years settings, schools and colleges needing to develop processes and procedures for ensuring children, young people and parents are engaged in decision making and planning

SEN Funding Reforms (2013) The Government’s view is that the first £6,000 of additional funding (above and beyond the average educational funding per child of £4,000) should be met by schools from the schools block of the dedicated schools grant. Where the value of a child/young person’s additional needs is greater than £6,000, then the child/young person is classified as having “High Needs” and any further funding will be provided from the High Needs Block of DSG, based upon the assessed need.

3 September 2015

In summary, the funding is as follows: Place funding (relating to education provision), average of £4,000 Funding from schools block Place plus (costs of additional needs – formerly school action and school action plus, now SEN Support): £6,000 Funding from schools block Top Up/High Needs funding, based on assessed need detailed in an EHCP/Statement Funding from High Needs Block The responsibility for the High Needs block lies with the local authority, who will work with schools to determine the correct level of top up funding for each child.

Assessment and Intervention Strategy Guidance This Assessment and Intervention Strategy has been devised to provide guidelines to educational schools/settings on the graduated approach to Special Educational Needs and Disability and the assess-plan-do-review process. The purpose of the document is:

To describe the provision that mainstream educational settings are expected to make at different stages of the graduated response as set out in the SEND Code of Practice;

To promote partnership between the local authority and educational settings in identifying and meeting children/young people’s special educational needs and disabilities;

To provide a basis for consistency and equity in decision making across schools;

To provide a basis of consistency and equity in decision making for the funding special educational needs;

To develop a more robust system of identifying children/young people with special educational needs which is clearly linked to progress and outcomes;

To help identify what an educational setting’s good practice and training needs might be; and

To support services in identifying the effectiveness of their input and training.

The Assessment and Intervention Strategy is process led, and it is assumed that it will be adopted with reference to the SEN Code of Practice. The strategy emphasises the need for:

Assessment

Reflective and planned action

Review and adaptation The Assessment and Intervention Strategy sets out guidance in each of the following areas of need:

Cognition and Learning

Autistic Spectrum Disorder

Speech and Language and Communication Needs

Physical Difficulties

Hearing Impairment

Visual Impairment

Social, Emotional and Mental Health Difficulties Throughout this document the term ‘teacher’ can mean teacher or key worker.

High Quality Teaching and Differentiation The foundation for any special educational needs policy and identification of need is good inclusive high quality teaching differentiated for individual pupils. Quoting from the SEN Code of Practice (para 6.37) ‘Additional intervention and support cannot compensate for a lack of good quality teaching. Schools should regularly and carefully review the quality of teaching for all pupils, including those at risk of underachievement. This includes reviewing and, where necessary, improving, teachers’ understanding of strategies to identify and support vulnerable pupils and their knowledge of the SEN most frequently encountered’. Differentiation of learning activities within the Early Years Foundation Stage and National Curriculum programmes of study should enable all staff to meet the particular learning requirements of the vast majority of their children/young people and enable them to access teaching and learning opportunities. Despite the Government setting out goals and expected levels of attainment at different stages of a child/young person’s education there is always an acceptance and understanding that children/young people will progress at different rates. At all stages children/young people should only be identified as having special educational needs if, after careful planning and differentiation of the curriculum, schemes of work, pastoral support etc, expected progress/curriculum access continues to be unsatisfactory. Then additional and/or different provision in that educational setting needs to be made. Differentiation of learning activities will help meet the learning needs of all children/young people. If educational settings choose to use setting or streaming arrangements to support planning and differentiation, it should be recognised that children/young people may make different rates of progress in different curriculum areas which should be taken into account. Also within sets or streams there will still be a range of needs and curricular content. Teaching style, pace of delivery, and materials should still reflect the needs of individuals within the group. Planning should be flexible enough to recognise the needs of all children/young people as individuals and to ensure relevance and progression. At all Key Stages the responsibility for appropriate differentiation and for identifying and meeting a child/young person’s individual (including special) educational needs is the responsibility of the class or subject teacher. The function of other staff/professionals e.g. SENCOs, Local Authority services, health professionals, is to support them in fulfilling this responsibility.

High Quality Teaching and Differentiation – Hearing Impairment

There are very few children who are unable to hear any sounds at all; a hearing loss may range from a very slight loss to profound deafness. It is estimated that one in four children under the age of seven have at one time suffered from a hearing loss of some kind. The loss may affect only one ear or both ears to different degrees.

Check List

Documents required when requesting Additional Funding from the High Needs Block

Category 1 This applies to children where there is clear evidence that they have profound and multiple learning difficulties; severe and complex learning difficulties (where the child’s attainments are likely to remain below P level 8 for most of their school career); severe physical disabilities or a significant sensory impairment. It is expected that all young people who are category one will already have an EHCP in place by the time they transfer to a post 16 setting. However, there may be exceptional circumstances, for example where a young person has been involved in a road traffic accident or is an international new arrival that may necessitate a request under category one.

Annual Reviews Overview Due to there being a transitional phase between the 1996 Education Act and the 2014 Children and Families Act, until April 2018 there will be three different types of Annual Review. Annual Reviews of Statements Those children/young people with a Statement of SEN, who are not in the process of being transferred to an Education, Health and Care Plan, will continue to have Annual Reviews in line with the old Code of Practice. Annual Reviews of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHC plan) Those children/young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan will have an Annual Review in line with the new Code of Practice. The focus of these Annual Reviews will be on reviewing the outcomes and targets identified in the EHC plan. At the end of each Key Stage the Annual Review will need to be a person centred annual review during which plans and new outcomes for the next phase of the child/young person’s education will be developed. Person Centred Transfer Reviews Those children/young people who are in the process of being transferred from a Statement of SEN to an Education, Health and Care Plan (who are likely to be at the end of a Key Stage) will have a person centred transfer review. During this review the following will be discussed:

What is important to/for the child/young person and their parents both now and in the

future

The achievements of the child/young person to date

How the child/young person can be best supported (academically and socially) at school

and at home

What is currently working/not working for the child/young person

Child/young person aspirations

Parental aspirations

Issues relating to preparing for adulthood including employment, independent living and

participation in society must be discussed during all reviews from Year 9 onwards.

Outcomes for the next key stage and short term targets for the next 12 months to help

the child/young person work towards their aspirations

Any further assessments, information or advice required in order to draft an EHC plan.

88 September 2015

Guidelines for completing an Annual Review of a Statement:

School Advice Form Page 1 – General details This is the only way the authority has of receiving up to date information regarding change of address, name etc., as this is not passed on at any other time. Please check that these details are accurate before filling in. It is important that details of all those who have parental responsibility are given on this page. Attendance figures are important as the authority needs to consider the provision it makes through a statement in light of poor attendance of a pupil. The authority may well suspend the provision for a pupil who is not attending until more regular attendance is achieved. Therefore actual figures are crucial rather than descriptive terms such as good, poor, etc. Please ensure that you highlight, at the bottom of this page, pupils who are working out of their chronological age group as this can cause some difficulties at primary/secondary transition.

Section 1 (i) Description of the pupil’s place in school in relation to class groupings, sets, etc.

For primary schools include the class size, particular groupings for particular activities, staffing levels. For secondary schools include the sets for the core subjects, the group size of the sets, and staffing levels.

(ii) Specialist equipment Include any equipment for physical difficulties i.e. standing frame, walker, wheelchair, specialist chair, angled board Include any communication aid e.g. Delta Talker Include any aids for visual impairment e.g. magnifier, angled board

(iii) Description of provision made under the following headings (Please include your individual provision map which includes provision, cost and impact) a) School provision Identify here support allocated from the school budget, this may be through SENCO or

specialist teacher time, through school funded TA time, through provision of a Youth Worker, through provision of a school counsellor, through funding for out of school activities etc.

b) Education SEN Support Services Identify here time allocated from the Support Services i.e. Behaviour Support Service,

Sensory Support, Educational Psychology, Ladywood Outreach etc. c) TA/Teacher support allocated and date initiated Identify here the support allocated through the statement and when it was put in place e.g.

7 ½ hours TA, 5 hours initiated in September 2009 and additional 2 ½ hours initiated in January 2011.

Page 89: Contents 1ladywood.pclive.myzen.co.uk › images › downloads › High_Need_Fun… · (including special) educational needs is the responsibility of the class or subject teacher.

89 September 2015

d) Other in-class support

Identify here any incidental class support provided for other pupils. e.g. there are 3 other pupils at SEN Support/with a Statement/EHC Plan in the class who receive a total of 20 hours TA support. e.g. In all English and Maths lessons there is TA support provided through Element 2 funding.

e) Other agencies (Speech and Language Therapy, Social Services) This can vary from term to term but needs to identify any support throughout the year e.g. Speech and Language therapy sessions once a fortnight for a term, following which

advice and programmes of work were given for implementation in school. e.g. Social Care provide short break care for the family once a month

Section 2 Include in this section the most up to date school assessment data and test results. For those pupils with a statement for learning difficulties, either moderate, severe or specific there must be a reading and spelling test result (using the agreed standardised test) in this section.

Section 3 (i) Progress since statement issued or last review. This section of the advice should contain the bulk of the advice. It should identify in detail the progress made in those areas of need set out in the objectives in the statement. e.g. The objectives on the statement are: 1. To further develop John’s literacy skills to a more age appropriate level. 2. To further develop John’s understanding of numerical concepts so that he is able to generalise these skills into practical situations. 3. To develop John’s confidence in his social skills so he is able to form positive relationships. 4. To develop John’s level of independent learning within the classroom. The targets on the advice form should reflect the same sequence as the objectives i.e. Target 1 should relate to literacy skills, Target 2 should relate to numerical concepts, Target 3 should relate to social skills, and Target 4 should relate to independent learning. The targets set for these objectives might be as follows:- a) To improve his reading age by 6 months, to 8 years 3 months, over the next twelve months. b) To improve his spelling age by 9 months, to 8 years 0 months, over the next twelve months. c) To recognise and understand the concept of quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour and be able to read these times using an analogue clock. d) To be able to work cooperatively within a group of 5 pupils in the structured setting of a classroom. e) To start work at the beginning of each lesson within 5 minutes of instructions being given, and to make an attempt at the work before asking for support. The advice form should describe how much progress has been made in achieving each of these targets.

Page 90: Contents 1ladywood.pclive.myzen.co.uk › images › downloads › High_Need_Fun… · (including special) educational needs is the responsibility of the class or subject teacher.

90 September 2015

The number of targets is not restricted to 6 and can be adjusted up or down to meet the specific needs of the pupil. There should, however, be at least one target for each objective. If the statement is very old and does not contain objectives then the targets set at the last annual review should be reviewed.

(ii) Progress in subject areas, if appropriate. Include here any information relating to specific subjects areas, this is likely to be more relevant to secondary schools. (iii) Approaches to learning and motivation. Include here information relating to learning styles, levels of motivation, application, and concentration. (iv) Progress in the last 12 months in the areas of life skills, social skills, and independence. Include here information as identified above so that a holistic picture of the pupil and their development is achieved.

Section 4 (i) Long term objectives List any long term objectives on the statement that have been met. This should include specific individual objectives that are met and no longer require targeting. E.g. a pupil identified at a young age as requiring assistance toileting skills but who is now independent in this area. List any new long term objectives relating to newly identified areas of need to be added. List here only new areas of need not identified on the statement. Do not list those areas of need already identified. e.g. A pupil with a statement for learning difficulties may have recently been diagnosed with a hearing impairment. This information should be supported by medical evidence and the objective may read ‘ To ensure that John’s hearing impairment is not a barrier to his learning, and that all staff are aware of the implications of his hearing difficulty.’ It is likely that for the majority of pupils there are no new areas of need identified and therefore no reason to add to this section. (ii) Targets to be achieved during the coming year. List at least one target for each objective on the statement. These are the targets to be addressed in the coming year. Please ensure that targets are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-limited. e.g. Over the next term John will learn to spell 5 keywords in History, Geography, Technology and Maths. In the next twelve months Mary will learn to follow the beginning and end of day school routines. To achieve P8 in writing over the next twelve months.

A separate entry for each year group within a Key Stage should be completed in the table provided. This should include information such as:

The total number of learners in the child/young person’s class

Staffing levels (including information such as the total number of pupils at SEN Support/with a Statement/EHC Plan in the class and the amount of TA/SNA support in place or any other additional adult support available, for example incidental TA support

Small group work opportunities

Where the child/young person is taught (for example in class with same aged peers, in class but with younger/older peers, withdrawn and taught 1:1 in a quiet, low stimulus environment etc.).

If learners are ability grouped the group that the child/young person is placed in, and the size of that group, for different subjects should be recorded.

Please do not list specific support put into place to meet the needs of the individual – this will be recorded in section 5. Section 4 – Academic attainment Please complete one section per year, detailing the most up to date school assessment data and test results. Over the course of a Key Stage this section will build up in order to provide an overview of progress over time. We recognise that each school will use a different method for assessing pupil progress. As such please complete the box at the bottom of this section in order to provide a brief description of the assessment system used within your school. This will ensure that the data provided can be interpreted correctly by the LA. This box will only need to be completed once at the start of the Key Stage.

105 September 2015

Section 5 – Provision map This provision map should be completed to reflect the additional to, and different from, provision received by the child/young person over the last 12 months. This provision map should detail the additional provision made by school (element 2 funding - £6000) as well as that provided from the high needs top up funding detailed in the EHC Plan (element 3/high needs funding).

Desired outcome of provision/intervention These should be based on the outcomes/targets listed in the EHC Plan/last Annual Review documentation and should all be linked to the child/young person’s aspirations. Intervention in place This should detail the intervention in place to help the child/young person achieve the outcomes identified. This should not be ‘additional adult support/1:1 support’ but should reflect the strategies being used by that person. For example interventions may include; the pre teaching of vocabulary, timers to encourage attention to task, visual timetables, now-next boards, a personalised reward system, sounds-write, an anger management programme, a working memory programme, modelling conflict resolution strategies at playtime/lunchtime etc. Additional support in place This should detail the type of support in place to deliver the intervention specified. This may include TA2 support, HLTA support, class teacher support, Learning Mentor support, SMSA support etc. Sometimes the additional support in place may not be in the form of a person but may be a piece of equipment for example voice activated software or a radio aid etc. Specialist involvement As those children/young people with an EHC Plan will have the most significant and complex needs, it is expected that the involvement of specialists (Ladywood Outreach, Sensory Support, Behaviour Support, Educational Psychologists etc.) in assessment, providing advice and planning interventions will remain in place on an ongoing basis. As such in this column you should detail the findings of any outside agency assessments/consultations and the advice resulting from these. There should be a clear link between the involvement/advice of the specialist support service and the interventions/support in place.

How often is this being delivered This column should detail how often each intervention is delivered for example 30 minutes each morning, 3x10 minutes per day etc. It is also important to note any exceptions to this, for example periods of illness or extended holidays as this will provide contextual information when considering the outcomes of the support being provided. Impact of intervention Please detail here the outcomes of the interventions being delivered, for example have they been achieved, part achieved or not achieved. If they have not been achieved, it should be considered whether the outcome is achievable and needs to be carried over to the next term or whether it needs to be reviewed/broken down further to help the child/young person to achieve it. Cost All interventions should be costed so that it is evident how the element 2 and element 3 funding is being used to support the child/young person in achieving their outcomes and aspirations.

106 September 2015

Section 6 – Achievements In order to ensure that the review remains person centred and uses person centred planning principles, please list the key achievements of the child/young person over the past 12 months. This may include academic achievements, achievements during extra-curricular activities, or personal achievements for example being nominated/voted a school council representative or participating in a school assembly etc. Section 7 – Progress towards long term aspirations and key stage outcomes At the start of each key stage this section will need to be populated from the EHC Plan. Once populated, each year it will be added to giving a cumulative overview of progress towards the key stage outcomes listed in the child/young person’s EHC Plan. Each aspiration and the various outcomes linked to the aspiration should be considered, with information describing in detail; what progress the child/young person has made towards achieving the outcome and any skills that still need to be developed in order to achieve the outcome by the end of the key stage. The final column in the table should only be completed once the outcome has been achieved. It is recognised that work during any one year is not likely to focus on all of the outcomes identified for the key stage. If this is the case then it can simply be stated that ‘this remains an area of difficulty and although this outcome was not prioritised during the last 12 months it will be the focus for intervention during the next year/Y4 or the year after/Y5 etc. This should be noted in the ‘areas to improve column.’ Section 8 – Preparing for Adulthood This section only has to be completed from Year 9 onwards (If felt appropriate it could be discussed at an earlier stage). The key purpose of this section is to ensure that the young person is well prepared for their transition into adulthood. As such each of the four areas; employment, independent living, community participation and Health need to be discussed and actions identified to address those issues that are pertinent to the young person and their family. These may include things such as; identifying what courses/apprenticeships/supported internships are available in the local area that are appropriate to the young person’s interests, identifying what skills the young person needs to develop in order to live independently or gain employment, for example time keeping skills, the ability to travel independently, the ability to dress appropriately for different situations etc. This information can then be included in the young person’s EHC Plan to ensure that these skills are prioritised during the next Key Stage of the young person’s education. Section 9 – Other comments This section can be used to provide any other information that you feel would be useful for the LA to be aware of.

107 September 2015

Meeting Summary In order to try and reduce the repetition of information, the Annual Review summary has been incorporated into the School Advice form. One section should be completed for each year of the Key Stage. It should detail the discussion held and incorporate the views of others. The key parts of this section are:

The identification of any new outcomes for the Key Stage that are not already listed in the

EHC Plan

The identification of targets for the next 12 months to meet the outcomes listed in the EHC

Plan/any new outcomes identified.

Any new targets should be SMART; Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-limited. For example:

During the next 12 months John will learn to spell 10 keywords in Science, History,

Geography, Technology and Maths.

In the next twelve months Mary will learn to follow the beginning and end of day school

routines.

To achieve a reading age of 8.6 years in reading by June 2016.

Parental Advice for the transfer of a Statement/LDA to an Education, Health and Care Assessment

In accordance with the Children and Families Act 2014 the Local Authority are transferring

your son/daughter from the old SEN system to the SEND new system. This means that we

need to transfer their current Statement of Special Educational Need/Learning Difficulty

Assessment to an Education, Health and Care plan (EHC plan). This form provides you with

the opportunity to give your assessment of your child’s difficulties and the support that you

believe is necessary to meet their Special Educational Needs. Completing this form will help

you to prepare for the person centred transfer review meeting and assist the Local Authority

in drafting an EHC plan. This request is made in accordance with section 36 of the Children

and Families Act 2014.

If you have any questions, or would like support to complete this form, please contact Cheryl Wyatt, Independent Support coordinator; Tel 01204 848722, email [email protected]. This form is also available online. You can obtain an electronic version via the Local Offer website (http://www.localdirectory.bolton.gov.uk/send.aspx) or by contacting Cheryl Wyatt.

SECTION 1 (i) What has the child/young person achieved/shown a keen interest in over the past 12

months? (Please comment on any new interests, academic achievements, extra curricular achievements and out of school achievements)

John has progressed very well in maths over the past 12 months, moving from a Level 2a to a 4c. John has also worked very hard with CAMHS and his parents in order to develop his ability to manage his feelings of anxiety. This has meant that John has been able to attend all school trips, including a residential. John has achieved an award for his athletic achievements, and represents the school in football. John has continued to present as a well behaved young man in school and has achieved the school platinum award for behaviour.

(ii) What do you think will be important to and for the child/young person both now and

in the future? (Please consider what is important to and for the child/young person across a range of areas including home, school, health and the community)

The things that are currently important for/to John include: Being given responsibility

Developing his confidence

Having a familiar adult to talk to when he is unsettled

Reminders regarding behavioural expectations and consistently applied rewards and

consequences

The things that will be important for John in the future include: Developing his communication skills

Developing a pack with pens/pencils/paper so that he can draw to keep his focus on

coach journeys and buddying him up with a sensible partner. This has resulted in him not

displaying as much anxiety over trips.

Having responsibility around school – being in Year 6 and setting a good example.

Having lots of friends and support in school with people he can trust and having staff he

can talk to.

Being informed of his choices in a given situation and supporting him to make the best

choice for him.

Consistency of whole class expectations and fairness/consistency of consequences

Being given the chance to make the right choice through giving explanations before there

is an opportunity for John’s behaviour to deteriorate

Access to time out when John is feeling agitated

Helping with younger children at the after school club.

149 September 2015

(iii) How do you feel the child/young person is best supported in school/college? Please detail the strategies, provisions and adaptations needed to the curriculum, environment and/or pastoral provision)

In our opinion John would be best supported in school in the following ways: Being given the time required to develop trust with new people

Ready access to toilet i.e. toilet pass.

Regular opportunities to practice writing and spelling.

Allow more time to complete writing tasks.

Use of mind maps to plan stories.

Use ICT for the planning and drafting of written work

Support for exams, more practice for tests to reduce feeling of pressure.

Some opportunities to record thoughts using methods other than writing, i.e.

mind mapping, ICT.

Explicit teaching of exam techniques.

Consideration of exam concessions e.g. a prompter/extra time etc.

Being given time limits within which to make decisions/choices before choices

are made for him by an adult.

Making sure that John is sat down before talking to him about his

behaviour/choices

Reminders of rules and expectations for the day – meet and greet opportunity

to discuss any issues, talk about expectations for the day, especially when at

secondary school.

Use of nurturing strategies at the start of a term/half term to reiterate

expectations.

Having a positive reward system in place

(iv) What are your long term aspirations for the pupil? (ie what do you see the child/young person realistically achieving at age 16 years/19 years?)

For him to have developed strategies and skills that enable him to independently manage his own feelings so that these do not hinder his ability to live a full and active life. For him to have achieved nationally recognised qualifications that enable him to access further and higher education. For him to have the skills required to live independently.

SECTION 2: Strengths and Weaknesses

Please describe the child/young person’s strengths in the following areas and the

difficulties that currently present as barriers to accessing the curriculum in

school/college. Please complete all relevant sections (and include any recent

assessment information)

Cognition and Learning Include information relating to the child’s approach to learning in different situations e.g. 1:1/small group/whole class, their ability to work independently, their ability to organise themselves for work and their levels of attainment in English, Maths and Science:

Strengths (What does the child/young person do well?) John’s maths skills have improved considerably over the past 12 months and this is a definite area of strength for him. John is able to demonstrate a good understanding of the four operations of number and is able to recall key number facts with ease and apply this knowledge to his work. John is working at Level 4c in maths which is in line with national expectations. John responds very well to one to one support and small group teaching and his approach to learning in these situations is more positive than it is during whole class sessions. John is able to organise himself and his belongings in readiness for work and clearly understands what equipment he needs for a task. John approaches most tasks very systematically and methodically and when interested and calm is able to persevere with tasks when they become more challenging. This is particularly noticeable in maths lessons Weaknesses (What does the child/young person find difficult?) John’s literacy attainments are much poorer than would be expected for his age. John is currently working at Level 2c in both reading and spelling and has struggled to make notable progress in this area over the past 3 years. John does not enjoy reading. He has a very limited sight vocabulary and really struggles to decode words that do not form part of his sight vocabulary. John’s poor receptive language skills and poor decoding skills mean that John is very rarely able to understand what he has read. John also struggles with his handwriting and this results in frustration as John often feels that his work is untidy and this leads to feelings of both anger and anxiety. John often refuses to engage in literacy work, including planned intervention work, and this further hinders his progress in this area. The quality and quantity of work produced by John in class is heavily dependent on his mood and behaviour and is therefore inconsistent.

Page 151: Contents 1ladywood.pclive.myzen.co.uk › images › downloads › High_Need_Fun… · (including special) educational needs is the responsibility of the class or subject teacher.

151 September 2015

Communication and Interaction Include information relating to the child’s attention and listening skills, their expressive vocabulary and language, their receptive vocabulary and language and their social use of language

Strengths (what does the child/young person do well?) John is keen to communicate with his peers, despite finding this difficult. When calm John is able to take turns in a conversation and is able to ensure that his needs and desires are understood. John is able to demonstrate age appropriate attention and listening skills when he is motivated, interested and calm. John does use contextual clues well to aid his understanding. Weaknesses (What does the child/young person find difficult?) John has significant expressive and receptive language difficulties. John often mixes up the order of sounds in words when speaking, has difficulty pronouncing the sounds in the middle of words and tends to reduce clusters of sounds, particularly when he is feeling anxious or angry. John often uses non-specific vocabulary, for example ‘thing’ when speaking and this can make it difficult to understand the gist of what he is saying. John’s receptive vocabulary is poor as is his ability to comprehend at the sentence level. John often fails to understand instructions given to him in school. John does not like to ask for help or clarification when he does not understand and this can lead to behavioural outbursts.

Social, Emotional and Mental Health Include information relating to the child’s social skills e.g. sharing/turn taking etc, their emotional literacy skills such as their emotional vocabulary, their ability to recognise feelings and their ability to manage and regulate their feelings. Include any information about diagnosed mental health conditions such and Anxiety, Depression, Self-Harm and Conduct Disorders

Strengths (What does the child/young person do well?) John can be a very pleasant, polite and co-operative young boy and has a lovely sense of humour. John responds very well to consistency. John can also be very caring, particularly towards younger children. Weaknesses (what does the child/young person find difficult?) John has a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder. John can present with challenging behaviour in school. Triggers to John’s challenging behaviour seem to be a perceived threat or a situation that is unfamiliar and therefore results in feelings of anxiety. John’s behaviour has resulted in him being removed from the classroom on one occasion this academic year and he does remove himself from the classroom on a regular basis when he feels that he cannot cope. John has not established any real friendships with his same aged peers as most are a little wary of his reactions. John prefers to play with/look after younger children. John finds it particularly difficult to transition from an unstructured time of the day (playtime) to a more structured time of the day (lessons) and this is when a number of behavioural difficulties emerge.

152 September 2015

Sensory and/or Physical Needs Include information relating to any visual/hearing impairments, fine motor difficulties, gross motor difficulties or mobility difficulties. Please also include details of any medical needs that have an educational relevance.

Criteria for Ceasing and Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

The LA is no longer being responsible for the child or young person’s education i.e.

A young person aged 16 or over leaves education to take up paid employment (including employment with training, but excluding apprenticeships, traineeships and supported internships)

The young person enters higher education (i.e. begins a University/degree level course) as then they will receive support via the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA).

A young person aged 16 or over leaves education and no longer wishes to engage in further learning. (Appropriate services such as Connexions and the Information Advisory Service will support young people in their decision making but unless a young person is deemed to lack the capacity to make this decision under the Mental Capacity Act (2005), their view/decision will take precedence over that of their parents. The Code of Practice states that parents can only continue to act on a young person’s behalf after compulsory school age if the young person is happy for them to do so, see paragraph 8.15 of the Code)

A young person expresses a wish for their EHCP to be ceased

The young person reaches the end of the academic year in which they turn 25 (or the day the

apprenticeship or course ends, or the day before their 26th

birthday if later). For example if a young person turned 25 in February and their course/apprenticeship continued until July, the EHCP would be maintained until the last day of their course in July. If, however a young person started a college course/apprenticeship in September and turned 26 on 10th November that year, their EHCP would be ceased on 9th November (i.e. the day before their 26th birthday).

The LA determines that it is no longer necessary for the EHC plan to be maintained

EHCP outcomes achieved

When setting outcomes for the next key stage the provision required in order to support the child or young person in meeting their outcomes costs less than £10,000 (elements 1&2*).

Child’s needs no longer fall into the high needs block section of the matrix

Step down process involving withdrawal of support and the use of Early Help to co-ordinate the meeting of identified outcomes and closely monitor the impact on progress/well-being (Please refer to the EHCP step down process document for further details of this process)

The LA determines that it is no longer necessary for the EHC plan to be maintained

It is anticipated that most young people will not require an Education, Health and Care Plan beyond the age of 19 as they will have been successfully prepared for the transition to adulthood prior to this point. This decision will be reached by considering Annual Review documentation and progress towards the outcomes identified in the EHCP. However, it is also recognised that for some young people, it will be necessary to maintain an EHCP beyond this point and this decision will be made on a case by case basis. In this situation consideration will be given to a range of factors. An EHCP, for a young person aged 19 and over, may be maintained if it is considered that:

The young person expresses a preference to remain in education or training and

The purpose of the young person remaining in education or training demonstrates clear progression and will enable to the young person to achieve an identified outcome/aspiration within a given time frame

and

The young person requires element 3 funding in order to access an EfA funded provision as a result of their identified SEND.

For example if a young person had experienced significant mental health/physical health difficulties that had prevented them from accessing Key Stage 4 and/or tertiary education, and they wished to complete their education then the LA may maintain an EHCP in this circumstance to enable the young person to complete that phase of their education and achieve the identified qualification.

September 2015

An EHCP, for a young person aged 19 and over, may be ceased if it is considered that:

The young person expresses a preference to not remain in education or training

The young person has completed the tertiary phase of their education (i.e. the 16-19 phase of education). As outlined above, it is recognised that some young people will require longer to complete the tertiary phase of their education, however, once a young person has completed this, no further learning is likely to be supported by an EHCP. For example if a young person gained a Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Hairdressing, funding via an EHCP would not support the same young person to then complete a Level 1 course in Hairdressing.

The young person is ready to move into adulthood/progress to the next phase of their life i.e. they have achieved the outcomes identified in their EHCP and/or completed their post 16 education and/or training and have a plan in place for this transition.

The purpose of the young person remaining in education is purely for the maintenance of skills as the way in which skills will be maintained in the longer term (e.g. post 19 or post 25 years) will not be reliant on educational provision. Therefore this is unlikely to be considered as a valid reason for maintaining an EHCP (similarly, young people without SEND who complete a college/university course but can not find employment will not continue to be supported by a college/university/local authority in order to keep their knowledge and skills up to date). How skills will be maintained in the long term needs to be planned for from an early stage through the review process.

The main purpose of maintaining the EHCP is for the young person to learn independent living skills. In most circumstances these skills are best developed in real life situations rather than in a classroom situation.

NB: If a child or young person with an EHCP moves to another local authority area the EHCP will be transferred to the new local authority in order for them to maintain the plan. *GLOSSARY: Element 1 funding: In mainstream schools and colleges, all students bring a basic funding entitlement. In schools this is called the Age Weighted Pupil Unit (AWPU) and applies whether or not the pupil has special needs. In colleges this is the mainstream per-student funding calculated by the national funding system. This funding pays for an element of the teacher, an element of the premises etc. This totals approximately £4000 per pupil per year. Element 2 funding: All mainstream schools and colleges are delegated funding to make further provision of up to £6000 per pupil with SEN. This is in addition to element 1. Element 3/High Needs Funding. SEN costs above the first £10,000 (elements 1 and 2) are met from top up funding from the Local Authority. The top up funding is to meet the assessed need of a pupil and is in addition to elements 1 and 2. EFA: Education Funding Agency. The EFA funds young learners between 16 and 19 years of age (and up to the age of 25 if they have an LDA or EHCP) SFA: Skills Funding Agency. The SFA is for adult learners aged 19 and over, and under 25, who do not have an LDA/EHCP and those aged over 25 years who have an identified support need.

Ceasing Education, Health and Care Plans: Frequently Asked Questions? Is it correct that once the EHCP has ceased it cannot be reinstated? No, if an EHCP had been ceased, a new referral could be made to the local authority. In this situation, the local authority would consider the information available to them and make a decision as to whether to initiate an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. If following this assessment, it was felt that an EHC plan was required, another plan would be issued. Is there an ‘appeal’ mechanism relating to the ceasing of an EHCP? Any issues relating to a local authority decision to cease an EHC plan can be appealed to SENDIST. What would happen if a young person decided to opt out of education and then had a change of mind several months on? An EHC plan would be maintained by the local authority until the 1st September following the end of an academic year. As such, if at the end of an academic year the young person decided that they were going to leave education, but then changed their mind before the 1st September the plan would simply be amended to reflect their destination. If a young person changed their mind within a term of leaving (e.g. before Christmas of the calendar year in which they left education) then the local authority would consider each case based on individual merit and may decide to reinstate the old EHC plan (although this can not be guaranteed). If the young person changed their mind after a full term, then the college/setting would need to make a new request for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. If the education aspect of a plan is withdrawn, who will support with any ongoing health and social care issues and what will the mechanism be for ensuring that young people receive on-going support?

An EHC plan is an educationally driven document. Therefore if a young person is no longer in education or training, or it is deemed through the review process that they no longer require additional support for their education through an EHC plan, the plan will be ceased. If a young person continues to have ongoing health and/or social care needs these would be met through adult Health and Social Care services as deemed appropriate by these services. This will also be the case for young people over the age of 25 who have ongoing Health and Social Care needs.

If a student is enrolled on a part time course that does not justify additional funding from the high needs block but they then swap to a full time course and so would require additional funding from the high needs block will that young person have to go through the whole assessment process again? As a young person on a course that does not require additional funding from the high needs block would not have an EHC plan, then a new request for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment would need to be made.

September 2015

If a young person is placed at in an out of borough placement on a 3 year course is the funding reviewed annually or is continuity for the young person and family ensured? If a young person was placed in an out of borough placement on a three year course then the funding would be agreed for the 3 years of the course in advance. The young person would still need to have a review of the EHC plan on an annual basis to consider their progress and targets for the next year. However, if a young person was on a one year course in an out of borough placement, this funding would be reviewed on an annual basis. Who has the final decision if a young person decides to withdraw/not participate against the knowledge/wishes of parents? For example if they choose not to attend a medical appointment as a letter has been sent directly to the young person and the parent was unaware? In most circumstances lines of communication will be agreed between the young person, their parents and the professionals working with them and it may be that initially it is agreed that letters will be sent to both parents and the young person in order to begin preparing them to become independent. Unless a young person is deemed to lack the capacity to make decisions/receive information under the Mental Capacity Act (2005), their view/decision will take precedence over that of their parents. The Code of Practice states that parents can only continue to act on a young person’s behalf after compulsory school age if the young person is happy for them to do so, see paragraph 8.15 of the Code). Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 a person is deemed as having capacity if they are able to make a decision at the time it needs to be made. A person is able to make a decision for themselves if they are able to:

(a) understand the information relevant to the decision,

(b) retain that information,

(c) use or weigh that information as part of the process of making the decision,

(d) to communicate their decision (whether by talking, using sign language or any other means),

Where there are issues with young people having the capacity to make decisions, we would try, wherever possible, to offer the support necessary to enable them to make the decision.

Why has 16 been selected as the cut off point when the raising of the participation age is 18 years? Central government, through the Children and Families Act 2014, have determined that after compulsory school age the right to make requests and decisions apply to the young person directly, rather then to their parents. It is anticipated that in most circumstances families will continue to be closely involved in the decision making process. This is now a legal framework within which everyone needs to work and, stresses the importance of preparing young people for adulthood, including encouraging them to become increasingly involved in making decisions about their own future from a relatively early stage so that young people are well equipped to take on this role.

EHC Plan Step Down Process

Annual Review of EHC plan identifies a possible need to cease the support provided via the EHC plan (i.e. the additional funding provided from the local authority high needs block, not the first 12 hours of support provided by school via element 2 funding)

High needs funding reduced by 50% for half a term (monitored by school)

High needs funding ceased for half a term (monitored by school)

Review meeting held – attended by family, school and local authority. If the phased withdrawal of support has been successful the EHC plan will be formally ceased. If parents disagree with this

decision an appeal can be made through SENDIST

Early Help Assessment and additional support plan (as per the school based SEND record keeping system) used to co-ordinate

School SEN Panel

Terms of Reference Role of the Panel The role of the panel is to:

consider/moderate referrals made to Bolton LA for additional funding from the High Needs Block.

consider the strategic direction of SEN as related to schools and academies.

Consider the needs of pupils in Bolton and ensure that training and provision meets the needs of all children and young people in Bolton and the staff working with them.

Meetings will focus on three main themes; strategic, moderation and planning. Membership of the Panel The panel will comprise: Chair: Tony Birch, Assistant Director, Education & Learning 2 LA Representatives: Gill Murphy, Manager, Inclusion & Statutory Assessment Service Sue Cornwell, Head of Service for Children with SEN 2 Primary Heads: Sarah Curley, Castle Hill Primary School Georgina Ryding, St Matthew Primary School (Little Lever) 2 Secondary Heads: Lee Harris, Bolton St Catherine’s Academy Alison Burrowes, Thornleigh Salesian College 1 Special School Head: Sally McFarlane, Ladywood Special School

The Panel needs 5 members present to be quorate and must include one Headteacher.

The panel will meet approximately every 4 weeks. Panel Members’ Responsibilities Panel members have been appointed to represent a particular perspective e.g. school or LA. The role of the panel member is to provide clarity, transparency and credibility in the decision making process around the allocation of funds from the High Needs Block and the strategic direction of SEN in schools and academies. The Role of the Panel Member The Panel will be chaired by the Assistant Director, Education and Learning. Legally, it is the responsibility of a nominated officer of the Local Authority to evaluate the evidence submitted with any request for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment and to decide whether or not to proceed. In Bolton the nominated officer is the Manager of the Special Educational Needs and Disability Assessment Service (SENDAS). It is the role of all other panel members to advise the nominated officer on whether or not the evidence submitted with those requests considered by the panel satisfies the published criteria. The decision of whether to proceed with an education, health and care needs assessment ultimately lies with the nominated officer.

Panel members will also be asked to consider strategic data and identify emerging themes regarding SEN in Bolton. Panel members are also expected to act as a link between the School SEN Panel and other forums, for example BASH, Inclusion and Engagement, SENCO clusters/networks etc. Panel Member’s Code of Conduct

Pre-circulated papers are sent to panel member under conditions of strict confidentiality.

Panel discussions must also take place under conditions of strict confidentiality. That is, panel members must not discuss cases with people not involved with the panel process.

All panel members should read all submissions/consider strategic data carefully before the meeting and attend the meeting having reached a view on whether the criteria have been satisfied for each submission/the key themes that emerge from the data.

It is very important that Panel meetings are given high priority and that all panel members attend all meetings and arrive for a prompt start.

Any panel member who has had direct professional contact with the child or his/her parents, or is related to the child, should disclose this involvement and leave the meeting for that part of the agenda.

Organising and Supporting the Panel It is the responsibility of a member of the Business Support Team to organise and support panel meetings. This includes: preparing the agenda and venue; circulating papers to panel members; keeping a record of decisions taken. It is the responsibility of the SEN Officers to inform those making the requests of the decisions made during the meetings. Considering requests for additional funding from the High Needs Block Paragraph 9.14 of the SEND Code of Practice states that in considering whether an EHC needs assessment is necessary, the LA should consider whether there is evidence that despite the setting having taken relevant and purposeful action to identify, assess and meet the SEN of the child or young person (C/YP), the C/YP has not made expected progress. To inform this decision the LA will need to take into account a wide range of evidence including: evidence of the C/YP’s academic attainment and rate of progress, information about the nature, extent and context of the C/YP’s SEN, evidence of the action already taken by the setting to meet the C/YP’s SEN, evidence that where progress has been made, it has only been as the result of much additional intervention and support over and above that which is usually provided, evidence of the C/YP’s physical, emotional and social development and health needs, drawing on relevant evidence from clinicians and other health professionals and what has been done to meet these by other agencies. Where a YP is over 18 years old, the LA must consider whether the YP requires additional time, in comparison to the majority of others of the same age who do not have SEND to complete their education or training. The Code of Practice states that LAs may develop criteria as guidelines to help inform decision making. In Bolton this criteria is set out in the ‘High Needs Funding File.’ The Code of Practice also states that the LA must be prepared to depart from these criteria where there is a compelling reason to do so and demonstrate their willingness to do so where individual circumstances warrant such a departure. Decisions regarding whether or not to proceed with an Education, Health and Care needs assessment must be made within 6 weeks of the LA receiving the request.
