Support is not attached to a qualification aim and is above and beyond that of everyday delivery. SCL Group endeavour to meet the needs of every learner within the classroom through careful planning, appropriate teaching, and strategic use of the resources available. Where careful identification and assessment procedures highlight a learner is not making adequate progress the delivery colleague, SEND team and parents/carers will review the strategies and approaches currently being used and consider ways that these may be developed. SCL Group currently follows the guidance contained in the SEND Code of Practice (2016). The code does not assume that there are fixed categories of special educational need but recognises that learners’ needs and requirements may fall within or across four broad areas:
o Communication and interaction o Cognition and Learning o Social, emotional, and mental health o Sensory and/or physical
SCL Group do not attempt to fit learners into any of these categories but aim to identify each area requiring development by considering the individual. SCL Group do not, therefore, aim to label or diagnose a learner but use these categories to help to implement support
As part of the transition process from mainstream education to SCL Group, the Learning Support & SEND team will review the Education Health and Care plan (EHCp) from the previous education provider to ensure the learner’s needs are understood and supported. Through Local Authority consultation, placement for learners with an EHCp will be considered based on Section F outcomes and SCL Group's ability to meet these needs. In instances where the EHCp is not available prior to start because the learner did not disclose or the Local Authority has not shared timely, the LS & SEND team will endeavour to have support in place as timely as possible.
