SEN Support Plans

Reviewing a SEN Support Plan

Support that is provided to your child / young person should be reviewed regularly using the 'graduated approach'.

The graduated approach is a four-part cycle (assess, plan, do, review):

Assess
You child / young person's needs are identified and understood as part of the school / setting's monitoring systems, and (where necessary) additional assessments.

Plan
Discuss, agree and plan the appropriate adjustments, support and strategies that will help your child / young person to progress and achieve identified outcomes.

Do
Adjustments, support and strategies are put in place over an agreed period (this is usually an academic term) with the support of everyone involved

Review
After the agreed period, an evaluation of the quality, effectiveness and impact that the support has had. This must include your views and those of your child.

This short term focussed planning makes sure the support and strategies in place are always up to date, relevant, and always under review.

It may take several cycles of Assess, Plan, Do, Review, and different support and strategies, before the agreed outcomes are reached.

You and your child / young person will be invited to share your views at each stage.
