3. The Gloucestershire Story Raising aspirations, promoting independence & inclusion A single and graduated pathway for additional needs from self directed support to EHCP/My Plan+ Families are listened to and enabled to be part of the solution A joined up approach helping the ‘whole’ child or young person now and into the future Transparency at all stages Reduce duplication and unnecessary bureaucracy

4. The Gloucestershire Model Enable people to help themselves Concerns about health and social care outcomes only (education concerns addressed through school delegated resources) professional assessments early intervention enablement natural supports - family/ community Concerns about educational outcomes Concerns about health/ social care outcomes only Both routes - multi-agency planning with personal budgets coordinate information single list of outcomes calculate resources build support plan sign off turn plan into reality review plan outcomes resources JSNA JOINT COMMISSIONING Where early intervention not effective JOINT COMMISSIONING At least annually Step down when appropriate THE LOCAL OFFER Feedback to JSNA and joint commissioning Change local offer where appropriate THE LOCAL OFFER JOINT COMMISSIONING Additional support required to meet educational or learning outcomes Early intervention offer - 1 page plan Two routes building on what’s gone before THE LOCAL OFFER

5. Helping people to help themselves Joint commissioning should create an environment that promotes and supports an ordinary life for children and young people with SEN D, and their families, minimising demand for specialist services The Local Offer should make it as easy as possible for people to find what they need to live, learn, work and do activities, making decisions without needing or wanting additional professional intervention Professionals should be enabling, focused on supporting mainstream/universal providers to include children with SEN D, building the resilience of families and making environments accessible for all

6. Single pathway – finding the right route for additional needs Education, Health & Care Plan My Plan+ (Multi-agency support Plan) My Plan+ (Multi-agency support Plan) Education needs additional support Education met by delegated resource Health/social care needs additional support Education met by delegated resource Health/social care needs additional support

23. OFSTED, SENCOs and Governors? High aspirations and a focus on enabling children and young people to be as independent as possible led most reliably to the best achievement (SEND Review, Ofsted 2010). Requirements for high aspiration: know accurately pupils’ attainment levels know what is aspirational yet realistic progress use close tracking to monitor progress review provision if pupils are not on track consider rigorously the role of the quality of provision to the progress made
