SEND Reforms- Wiltshire Pathfinder

SLIDE 2

Governments vision

Children’s SEN are picked up early and support is routinely put in place quickly; Staff have the knowledge, understanding and skills to provide the right support for children and young people who have SEN or are disabled; Parents know what they can reasonably expect their local school, college, LA & local services to provide, without having to fight for it; Aspirations for children and young people are raised through an increased focus on life outcomes, including employment; For more complex needs, an integrated assessment and a single Education, Health and Care Plan are in place from birth to 25; and There is greater control for parents and young people over the services they and their family use.

Pathfinders core objectives

To develop a new 0-25 assessment/planning process and a

Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)

Develop a multi agency local offer
To ensure the full engagement of children, young people and

their parents and families, schools and colleges

To explore how the option of a personal budget could offer more

choice and control

To explore how the joint commissioning across agencies can

support the new processes and improve outcomes

Person centred statutory EHC Plan

Great feedback from families and professionals
One page profile seen as a “delicious piece of paper”
Families want one key contact to co-ordinate the

assessment and support the planning process (SEND lead worker)

Families and professionals feel much more involved in

the process and that all their opinions are being heard.

SLIDE 5

Non statutory EHC plan

Person centred, holistic non statutory plan  Encourages professionals to work together with the family to identify clear outcomes  Provides consistency of paperwork for parents and schools  Provides consistency of terminology  No need to start from “scratch” approach (cumulative approach) Easier to move in and out of statutory / non statutory framework (especially as new legislation covers such wide age range)
