Agreed EHC needs requests in line with national average
With more robust processes for decision-making in place, Bexley has brought its agreed number of EHC Needs requests into line with the national average, the SEND sub-group members learnt at their meeting on 1st March 2019. Evidence of SEN support and using a graduated response to meet need must now be evidenced. In addition, Bexley is working to up-skill staff in PVI settings so that need is identified earlier in a child’s journey.
Sub-group members also learnt that head teachers who gave feedback on the new annual review paperwork had been generally positive, agreeing that the template was more concise and easier to use. This allowed more time in the meeting to focus on the outcomes for the child.
