Early Years

The EY sub group have been working on a paper to go to EPP 25 March. This paper puts forward recommendations for provision for children Pre-5 with special educational needs. The recommendations include  
- maximum of 24 pre-five places in each co-located special school
-some provision with the co-located mainstream school for children with SEN
 - a flexible continuum of provision
- resourced provision in Children's Centres filling the geographical gaps

3 meetings have been arranged for parents (information sessions not consultation)

 all at Shipley Library.

The group have also recommended a wider review of services for pre-five children with SEN which must include:

- Identification of clear pathways for children and families, which ensures smooth transition from home to setting and setting to setting including transition into the primary phase of education.
 - A review of current assessment systems and referral routes.
 - Issues of equality of access to services based on assessed need.
 - Models which incorporate flexibility in service delivery.

 

The group will next look at prescribed information for statutory notices.
