New page – alternative education📣

We’ve updated our website with information on children out of school, including a dedicated page on alternative education.

These updates explain:

🔷 When an LA must put in place alternative education for a child of compulsory school age
🔶 Your views are important - LAs should consult with parents before arrangements are made
🔷 Education must be suitable and full-time, and what that means
🔶 What you can do if you are unhappy with proposed arrangements or the education in place

Find out more and what they mean for you on our website: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/pages/category/children-out-of-school and https://www.ipsea.org.uk/alternative-education-for-children-who-cannot-attend-school

We also have a template letter (template letter 22) you can use to request alternative education.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed looking at your child’s EHC plan, you’re not alone.

Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) are split into 11 sections, each with a different purpose.

There is no national standard format for the EHC plan. However it must have certain, clearly-labelled sections 👇

📑 Section A: The views, interests and aspirations of you and your child. Your child’s story, in your words.
📑 Section B: Their special educational needs (SEN)
📑 Section C: Health needs related to SEN
📑 Section D: Social care needs related to SEN
📑 Section E: Outcomes – how the extra help will benefit your child
📑 Section F: The provision to meet needs (this section must be specific and legally binding)
📑 Section G: Health provision
📑 Section H: Social care provision
📑 Section I: Type and name of school or other institution. (This is blank in the draft plan.)
📑 Section J: Personal budget (if applicable)
📑 Section K: Reports and evidence used to write the plan

For more information about EHCPs, visit our dedicated pages here 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/uwxpspklhz

In April and May, the Council for Disabled Children and the Department for Education are partnering to host a series of online and in-person engagement events as part of the SEND Reform: Putting Children and Young People First consultation.

These events are an important opportunity for anyone with an interest in the consultation to share their views on the proposals - including parents and carers, local authorities, schools, early years and further education settings, and social care and health representatives.

Each event will provide an overview of the consultation areas and the vision for reform, followed by breakout groups to discuss key consultation themes – you can choose the groups that are of most interest to you. These breakout sessions will be:

- Working together to respond to needs early
- Parents as partners in the system
- Inclusive mainstream system
- Specialist support and EHCPs
- Support across the whole system and join up between organisations
- Accountability, redress and appeals
- Recording needs across all layers of support

Space at events is limited so that conversations can be meaningful and the content will be the same at each event. Please only register for one of these events, so that as many people as possible can take part.

All dates, details and booking information are available here: https://councilfordisabledchildren.org.uk/work-us/events-training/events-training-calendar/send-reform-putting-children-and-young-people

❗️Tameside's new sensory toolkit ❗️

This toolkit is intended to:
Support schools and settings to recognise when sensory experiences may be impacting a child’s learning, behaviour or wellbeing.
Provide practical guidance on how to adapt environments, routines and expectations to better support regulation
Promote consistent practice across settings using a shared language and graduated response.
Support children with and without diagnoses by focusing on need rather than labels
