🩵 The Graduated Approach 💙
SEND support should be a process, not a one-off intervention.
The graduated approach means understanding a child's needs, planning appropriate support, putting that support in place and then reviewing whether it is actually making a difference.
And if it isn't working?
Change the approach.
A child shouldn't have to repeatedly fail before adults reconsider whether the support is right for them.
