10. Activity data

11. 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.

12. 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?
