Activity data

Planned task and finish group to address the Workstream Brief: Tiered Approach: Bringing together Levels of Need, Targeted provision within the County tiered approach to SEND Silvia Hundal +   Consistent Referral System Ensuring that there is a transparent, equitable and accountable system for receiving requests for involvement (sometimes confusingly called referral system) Data and intelligence Ensuring that we collect and report on the right data to allow planning and accountability of services Louise Carter+ Specialism development Ensuring that staff maintain specialist knowledge and are appropriate skilled to deliver targeted and specialist assessments and interventions when required. Sally Glossop+ All Targeted services coordination Will bring together all services into a single transparent model of delivery of targeted and specialist provision in mainstream schools TBC Resources and allocation The group will ensure that there is sufficiency of resource and transparent processes of allocation. It will build on 1,2 and 3 above. Infrastructure This group will ensure that there is the right support, technical and human, to deliver an effective service. It will build on the work of 5 and 6 above.

Implications for ENF Until we know our population better we cannot make effective strategic decisions. Describing the population gives the opportunity to ensure consistent provision but it also creates risks: the so called ‘points equals pounds’. How do we ensure that process leads our allocation system rather than points? Do we want to create a local market with schools and settings choosing their provider for targeted and specialist services? If not, what do we need to do to avoid this?
