1.6 Understand integrated and multi agency working.

There are numerous agencies that may be involved with our school for different reasons. If a child is believed to have special educational need; for this there can be different reasons. Such as behavioural problems, slow learning or speech impediments. If the child was struggling within class or personally the SENCO would get involved.
A SENCO is a Special Educational Needs Coordinator. The SENCO within my setting is Miss Coffey. Miss Coffey has been on special training which gave her more insight and knowledge upon what special educational needs a child may have how to assess a child upon it and ideas on ways to help enhance their development. After the SENCO has made some observation upon the child if the SENCO believes a child needs extra help or further assessing then the SENCO refers them further. The four assessment areas are; Identifying needs early- assessment that involve knowing who would benefit from the CAF (Common Assessment Framework), assessing those needs with the child. This could be to local behaviour management team, local health visitors, or speech therapists. After the referral has been they will then liaise with the SENCO and come to a conclusion what is best for the child and how to help the child to progress forward.
It is very important that all agencies, involved with the child, work together and communicate regularly. This is because one agency may know certain aspects of the child’s life in more details and could offer guidance upon another aspect of the child’s life. For example a social worker may know more about home life than a school teacher therefore if home life may be a problem a child’s behaviour could suffer due to this therefore when communicating the teacher may ask if the other agencies have any ideas at why the child’s behaviour is so unpredictable and then a

    Accurate Record keeping and documentation are the important process that facilitates continuity of care and accountability. By documenting a child’s learning we can see the progress the child is making over all the areas of learning and their own personal characteristics of learning.

    This study focuses on an Academy providing for 1800 pupils, 59% being identified as having Special Educational Needs (SEN). The large number of SEN pupils is attributable to the identification of any pupil who had had intervention deemed to be outside the usual educational processes, as ‘School Action’, as a larger number of SEN pupils were advantageous within the CVA agenda. The Teaching Assistants (TAs) have recently declined in numbers, but under new leadership, they aim to build a new reputation of progress, effectiveness of intervention, impact and achievement. The SEN department is in a new era of accountability in terms of answerability for its impact on attainment; Schools must identify ‘not just what they do and the provision … but also the difference that provision makes on education - the impact’ (Briggs and Cunningham, 2009:71). This passion for progress has to translate to the working practices of the TAs, through the effective partnership between the SENCo and TAs. The literature review evolved into a questionnaire, which attempted to reconcile the expectations and the potential of TAs, concluding in meaningful recommendations on how the TA can be used to impact underachievement.…

Multi-agency working takes a variety of forms, such as working in a particular team based around a child or family. Multi-agency work involves anyone that is working in the contact of children, young people and their families – the multi-agencies could include people from a variety of professional background, such as social work, health, education, early year’s, police and youth justice. This is because it is important that they each provide their own input, own skills and expertise so that the child, young person and their family and getting the best support possible for…

    1. What do you understand by the term, Special Educational Needs?
