Do you want to be part of Bury’s SEND Transformation?
From early identification of need, to making adjustments, SEND Support interventions and beyond; what is known as the ‘graduated approach’ within the SEND Code of Practice.
Through this project we will work in partnership by:
- Encouraging participation
We are inviting expressions of interest to be part of this project.
We want to include a wide range of views, from parents and carers, school staff, LA and health professionals.
The first Steering Group meeting to share further information about the project will be on Monday 12th July, via Teams 11am-12.30pm.
Additionally, for school settings, we are inviting your involvement through the SENCO networks.
- Salford Educational Psychology Service have recent experience of developing a document of this kind, which can be viewed here: School age Salford
- We are interested in working with you to think together about what would be helpful for Bury’s graduated approach document. If there is anything you like about the Salford version, would like to change, or if you would prefer something completely different, please let us know. We are open to ideas and have created a brief online form to begin to capture views: Bury's Graduated Approach Document
