LA Ofsted Inspection of SEN What are OFSTED looking at? What might the inspectors be looking at if they visit your school? Ensure your SEN information report has been updated this year and is on your school website! Have you included an evaluative summary? SEND reforms – working collaboratively – Teachers / Governors / Parents / Children See guidance sheet.

Your current provision / areas for development in your school Four Barriers to learning C and L C and I SEMH PD and SENSORY Use hand out to get SENCOs to think about 1: needs in their school. 2. Current provision. 3. Priority areas for development. How will they aim to develop QFT and interventions to support.

CAPACITY BUILDING With all support in a time of austerity how are you developing capacity in your school or partnership to meet need? Have you built in contingency funds for any unexpected mid year issues for learners? Are you clear on the LA role moving forward? Ics see the document on the white paper and LA role?

Additional Support EI hubs are changing. There will still be provision to support vulnerable families and children in Oxfordshire. However this is under review. It is key you are developing capacity in school to develop relationships with families. How are you doing this? The CAF process is under review.

Feedback from ECHP panel The evidence needs to be robust and have no gaps They need to determine what the progress has been and the effectiveness /impact of provision so far. Therefore the paperwork must show that: the interventions are targeted to the child’s needs the impact or lack of impact of provision (with data) what the school are doing to support the pupil

What are the panel looking for? The needs of the child / young person. Whether the child / young person has made expected progress? Evidence that the school/educational provision has taken relevant and purposeful action to identify, assess and meet the needs of the child / young person. Sheet from Emma Curtis – Lead for SEN Team in the South
