39The real concern for all of us is that when total school funding is
40reduced, will pupils with special educational needs and disabilities be top
41priority for most Heads? Experiences suggests that they will not be.

310Hi,
311
312As I work at an Infant School our KS1 results are pretty important to us!
313Does anyone know if there are access arrangements for KS1 children seeing as
314they now have to complete their assessments within a given time? For
315example, can I use an online screening assessment or would I need an expert
316to assess a child as needing additional time? I am thinking in particular
317about children with slower processing speeds. (I have, by the way,
318completed the OU Difficulties with Literacy course so could maybe declare
319myself an expert).
320
321Any advise would be much appreciated.

523
524Hi,
525
526As I work at an Infant School our KS1 results are pretty important to us!
527Does anyone know if there are access arrangements for KS1 children seeing as
528they now have to complete their assessments within a given time? For
529example, can I use an online screening assessment or would I need an expert
530to assess a child as needing additional time? I am thinking in particular
531about children with slower processing speeds. (I have, by the way,
532completed the OU Difficulties with Literacy course so could maybe declare
533myself an expert).
534
535Any advise would be much appreciated.
536
537Thanks,
538Wendy

621The real concern for all of us is that when total school funding is reduced, will pupils with special educational needs and disabilities be top priority for most Heads? Experiences suggests that they will not be. Worrying times.

643Unless I'm reading this wrong, it isn't additional funding to support SEN children is it? It reads like funding for LAs for the transition from statements to EHCPs (which aren't how I anticipated them to be anyway) and more funding for some charities.

656Here is an extract from the DfE press release on SEND funding priorities:
657
658
659A multi-million pound package ensuring thousands of children with special educational needs and disability (SEND) have the same opportunities as any other child has been announced today (29 January 2016).
660
661Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said the ?80 million would help transform the life chances of children across the country and ensure every child, regardless of the challenges they face, can ?dream big? and fulfil their potential.
662
663As part of its mission to extend opportunity to all, the government has already introduced the biggest reforms to the SEND support system in a generation by placing children and their families at the heart of the system.
664
665Today?s announcement will increase funding for councils<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-reform-funding-for-local-authorities-2016-to-2017> and support charities who work with some of the most vulnerable young people in the country. Alongside this, the government is continuing transition funding in 2017 to 2018 to help implement the reforms introduced in 2014, building on the progress so far.
666
667Thanks to the government?s reforms, for the first time ever the needs of children with complex SEND are all set out in one education, health and care (EHC) plan<https://www.gov.uk/children-with-special-educational-needs/extra-SEN-help>. It also means that councils are legally required to take the views of families into account when deciding on what support to offer.
668
669Children and Families Minister Edward Timpson said:
670
671Our vision for children with special educational needs and disability is simple: that their aspirations are as high any other young person, that they dream big, achieve well at school and college, and lead fulfilling, happy lives.
672
673We?ve made fundamental changes to the law to provide that support and the work I?ve seen so far, putting families at the heart of the process, is inspiring - but we know there is still more to do to.
674
675I?m delighted that today we can announce that we are committing more money to councils than last year, helping to make the transition for families accessing support as smooth as possible.
676
677The funding announced today includes:
678
679 * ?35.8 million in implementation funding for local authorities in 2016 to 2017<https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-reform-funding-for-local-authorities-2016-to-2017>, recognising the additional duties placed on them as a result of the transition to EHC plans - an increase of ?4 million on last year
680 * ?27.3 million for the Family Fund Trust<http://www.familyfund.org.uk/> in 2016 to 2017 to support low income families with disabled children - they provide small scale grants, enabling them to make specific purchases and offering short respite breaks
681 * ?15 million to fund the independent supporters programme<http://councilfordisabledchildren.org.uk/independentsupport> in 2016 to 2017, run by the Council for Disabled Children - this is a crucial catalyst for change, helping to support families and young people to navigate the system, and creating overwhelmingly positive experiences for them
682 * ?2.3 million for Parent Carer Forums<http://www.nnpcf.org.uk/> in 2016 to 2017, who bring parents together to provide invaluable support and advice for families
683
684In addition, the government is also pledging to fund this work for an additional year in 2017 to 2018, to ensure we see through the transition to the new system by April 2018.
685
686If you are interested, details of how much 'implementation funding' your LA will receive can be found here:

769A special school I worked with did appoint a SpLT but although she was
770employed fulltime, in reality she actually worked 4 days in the school and I
771day at the NHS clinic each week to allow her to complete the supervision etc
772to retain her registration. Carol

813
814A good question Becky. It would be helpful if you share any collated
815responses with members.
816
817In addition to an individual school appointing an SLT (more common in the
818special school sector, but not unknown in mainstream primary and secondary
819schools), interesting models are emerging where school cluster groups
820employ an SLT.
821
822Some SLTs decided the writing was on the wall a few years ago, when NHS
823service cuts were particularly deep, and moved into private practice
824(maintaining appropriate registration) and setting up contract directly
825with schools.
826
827One concern I have come across recently is that NHS providers of SLT have
828decided to withdraw provision because it is being made by 'others' - an
829interesting, if unintended consequences of policy. Of course, the legality
830of such behaviour is questionable to say the least, and a matter to be
831raised with the relevant Clinical Commission Group (CCG) in an area.
832
833I do wonder if there is a case for re-professionalising SLT with a view to
834training for the education sector. Any thoughts?
835
836There is an obvious parallel with EPs (education) and clinical
837psychologists (health). It might also be possible to 'do away' with
838confusing legislation (Is SLT provision a health or educational need, or
839both? It may seem clear to some folk, but in practice we simply muddle
840along)

989What do people use to assess working memory in Ks1 - 2. Would you agree that working memory is a combination of both phonological memory ( dealing with spoken and written material) combined with Visuo -spatial memory ( memory for visual images).

991Is the phonological memory in the Ctopp combined with the visual assessment in the WRAML sufficient evidence to show poor working memory?

1007Very worrying indeed! Any money which had been coming our way has now been withdrawn, you now have to prove you've spent ?6000 on a pupil, before you can apply for any extra funding. This whole process is so ridiculously burdensome that it's not even attempted.
1008
1009I don't know what is happening in Education... teachers are now being laid off, therefore others are overburdened and of course the pupils with special needs are at the end of the line. !

1415One of the main reasons not to look to NHS is cost and job description. Ours has been with us for three years and it wholly employed by the school.
1416The CPD and mentoring needs to be integral and that costs. But is a good investment.

1424
1425A good question Becky. It would be helpful if you share any collated responses with members.
1426
1427In addition to an individual school appointing an SLT (more common in the special school sector, but not unknown in mainstream primary and secondary schools), interesting models are emerging where school cluster groups employ an SLT.
1428
1429Some SLTs decided the writing was on the wall a few years ago, when NHS service cuts were particularly deep, and moved into private practice (maintaining appropriate registration) and setting up contract directly with schools.
1430
1431One concern I have come across recently is that NHS providers of SLT have decided to withdraw provision because it is being made by 'others' - an interesting, if unintended consequences of policy. Of course, the legality of such behaviour is questionable to say the least, and a matter to be raised with the relevant Clinical Commission Group (CCG) in an area.
1432
1433I do wonder if there is a case for re-professionalising SLT with a view to training for the education sector. Any thoughts?
1434
1435There is an obvious parallel with EPs (education) and clinical psychologists (health). It might also be possible to 'do away' with confusing legislation (Is SLT provision a health or educational need, or both? It may seem clear to some folk, but in practice we simply muddle along)

1733Message-ID: <CAFfXBEPYv-=q4iFc17N4Y0d30Ym--Ro-_o46svVEw4M50yA0EQ@mail.gmail.com>
1734
1735As noted in a posting last week, the DfE is continuing to fund the
1736Independent Supporters Programme through 2016 to 2017. The budget for this
1737Council for Disabled Children facilitated scheme is ?15 million.
1738
1739The SEND Code of Practice (2.20) provides the following remit for programme:
1740
1741Families may receive help from and independent supporter, provided by
1742private voluntary and community sector organisations, who is independent of
1743the local authority. Independent supporters will be recruited locally and
1744receive accredited training, inclusing legal training, to help any family
1745going through an EHC needs assessment and the process of developing an EHC
1746plan.Local authorities should work with organisations that are providing
1747independent supporters to ensure there are arrangements agreed locally to
1748offer help form an independent supporter to as many families as possible
1749who require it.
1750
1751Does anyone have experience of working with independent supporters?
1752
1753
1754The programme is being evaluated by the National Development Team for
1755Inclusion. Their interim summary report can found here:

1770
1771Dear all,
1772
1773
1774
1775I have had a letter from a parent of a child in Year 10 who has had a
1776meeting with an independent supporter. The support worker has recommended
1777that I write a letter to help them apply for an EHCP. The child has
1778hypermobility and Irlen's.
1779
1780I feel uncertain about this as I thought that the school would need to make
1781an application and use supporting evidence from external agencies. What
1782information would be needed from school?
1783
1784The school has made reasonable adjustments for access arrangements and have
1785recent standardised scores.
1786
1787
1788
1789Thanks in advance

1806
1807Dear All,
1808
1809I?m to be called as a witness for a Tribunal hearing. The child is a Year6 boy with dyspraxia, hypermobility and numeracy difficulties. There really isn?t any dispute about his needs, nor about whether we are meeting them at his (independent) primary school. Parents want an EHC plan to ensure that his needs are fully met when he goes on to (state) secondary school. The LA are saying that his needs will be met by the School, whereas the School is saying things like ?best endeavours?, and ?where possible?. Parents feel that their child was sinking once before in his previous primary school and they are very much afraid that, without the EHC Plan, this will happen again.
1810
1811Does anyone have any advice at all to offer in this situation, either about tactics or the likelihood of success or the tribunal process itself?
1812
1813Parents are trying to make contact with IPSEA, and the LA has employed lawyers.

1829
1830A friend of mine has just "won" a permanent placement for her son at a very expensive permanent boarding school for a child who has been treated by Great Ormond Street for the last ten years.
1831
1832It has actually cost the family a great deal of money to provide independent assessments for almost every aspect of his life going to appeal.
1833
1834However, the judge ruled at the tribunal that cost should never be a factor when deciding what is the right provision for a child. There is a sentence in this child's statement that refers to this (and I suspect is in every child's statement in this authority) which is now apparently illegal with the new legislation.
1835
1836One of the local authorities defences was that funding what was considered to be needed by all the independent practitioners consulted was that this was an inappropriate use of public funding and was extravagant provision.
1837
1838I think that our children need to be protected from this approach and I would be advising any person with a child with very real problems that need specific interventions to start now collecting evidence of their needs - from everywhere.
1839
1840A school already trying to justify their approach by using the terms "?best endeavours?, and ?where possible?" is more or less saying - this will not happen because we can't afford it. That argument at this tribunal was not permitted because it is putting money before the demonstrated needs of the child.
1841
1842I would be telling them not to accept this - and to be collecting evidence from all areas of their child's life - and I would want it documented about what exactly was the provision already made in the past - how it worked - and what was planned for the future.
1843
1844I wonder just how well the new legislation is really understood by all involved in its implementation.
1845
1846And when things do not go well go straight for independent advice from a solicitor specialising in educational matters.
1847
1848Regards
1849
1850Ruth
1851
1852It has cost this family something like ?30,000 to go to appeal - and they used the best. What was really dreadful was having to find independent medical advice for the authority who refused to accept Great Ormond Streets reports without them being verified by an independent person! And think in terms of around ?1000 per report too - get the best!
1853
1854And as always - it comes down to money!
1855
1856Special Needs Tribunals now have a new Head. A Judge who used to be the head of IPSEA. She has a profoundly handicapped child. Would that more people involved in SEN provision knew exactly what it was like to have a child with special needs!

1895We went to a tribunal with my grandson - about 10 years ago.
1896
1897He had very ordinary "dyslexic" problems. He is a clever boy but can't prove it on paper without additional help of some kind - reader scribe extra time etc.
1898
1899We represented ourselves - no outsiders apart from an outside EP report which the school choose to ignore and said we thought our "goose was a swan"!
1900
1901County had a barrister - called the school's senco and advisory staff.
1902
1903Unfortunately for them they did not know their stuff.
1904
1905We won - but school were given time to prove that they could actually do the right things if they wanted to - or we should go back if we were unhappy aboput provision or progress.
1906
1907We did not go back. The upper school were great.
1908
1909It pays to fight.
1910
1911Regards
1912
1913Ruth - tribunals ask really pertinent question and want proper answers. We took my grandson. He had half an hour alone with the three members of the tribunal with his mother away in the background. He was well able to talk through his problems at the age of 9/10 He was his own best witness.

1955I'm following this with interest as am just supporting a family to go to tribunal. Thank goodness for the advice on IPSEA website! It's shocking what some LEAs are doing to put people off getting their child's needs met, but they are all losing so much funding from the government. When will SEND ever be funded enough?

2081If the parent makes a direct application to the council for an EHCP, then the council will get in touch with you for information.
2082
2083If you don't think the child needs an EHCP then don't write a letter.

2091Subject: [Senco-forum] application for EHCP
2092
2093Dear all,
2094
2095I have had a letter from a parent of a child in Year 10 who has had a meeting with an independent supporter. The support worker has recommended that I write a letter to help them apply for an EHCP. The child has hypermobility and Irlen?s.
2096I feel uncertain about this as I thought that the school would need to make an application and use supporting evidence from external agencies. What information would be needed from school?
2097The school has made reasonable adjustments for access arrangements and have recent standardised scores.
2098
2099Thanks in advance
2100
2101Sam

2141Message-ID: <69ce50.14ca760c.43e4b2a7@aol.com>
2142
2143Raises a few questions
2144
2145So there would be those parents who wouldn't notice the cost, those who
2146could just about about manage it through sacrifice and those who would never
2147be in the league of hiring the best solicitor. Is this advocating a three
2148tier appeal system?
2149
2150Reasonable adjustment has to be the key. If a local school, with support
2151from the LEA can meet 90% of a child's needs for another 6k (say) isn't this
2152reasonable adjusment (and prudent use of OUR money - we are the ones who
2153pay, after all). Can it be reasonable to expect US to pay 40, 50, 60k to have
215495% of their needs met elsewhere?
2155
2156I'm not being an advocate of the LEAs who can make things very difficult,
2157but they have less and less of our money to spend on increasing expensive
2158out-of-county placements. For the most extreme cases 250k plus per year is
2159not unusual.
2160
2161And where does inclusion sit with this current discussion?
2162
2163In answer to your question, Mary, Stick to what you know, have the
2164information to support this, don't let the 'other side' wind you up, answer the
2165questions, be honest if you don't know. And take a cushion. They can be such
2166long, drawn out, bum numbing experiences.
2167
2168Good luck

2175
2176A friend of mine has just "won" a permanent placement for her son at a
2177very expensive permanent boarding school for a child who has been treated by
2178Great Ormond Street for the last ten years.
2179
2180It has actually cost the family a great deal of money to provide
2181independent assessments for almost every aspect of his life going to appeal.
2182
2183However, the judge ruled at the tribunal that cost should never be a
2184factor when deciding what is the right provision for a child. There is a
2185sentence in this child's statement that refers to this (and I suspect is in every
2186child's statement in this authority) which is now apparently illegal with
2187the new legislation.
2188
2189One of the local authorities defences was that funding what was considered
2190to be needed by all the independent practitioners consulted was that this
2191was an inappropriate use of public funding and was extravagant provision.
2192
2193I think that our children need to be protected from this approach and I
2194would be advising any person with a child with very real problems that need
2195specific interventions to start now collecting evidence of their needs -
2196from everywhere.
2197
2198A school already trying to justify their approach by using the terms "?
2199best endeavours?, and ?where possible?" is more or less saying - this will
2200not happen because we can't afford it. That argument at this tribunal was
2201not permitted because it is putting money before the demonstrated needs of
2202the child.
2203
2204I would be telling them not to accept this - and to be collecting evidence
2205from all areas of their child's life - and I would want it documented
2206about what exactly was the provision already made in the past - how it worked -
2207and what was planned for the future.
2208
2209I wonder just how well the new legislation is really understood by all
2210involved in its implementation.
2211
2212And when things do not go well go straight for independent advice from a
2213solicitor specialising in educational matters.
2214
2215Regards
2216
2217Ruth
2218
2219It has cost this family something like ?30,000 to go to appeal - and they
2220used the best. What was really dreadful was having to find independent
2221medical advice for the authority who refused to accept Great Ormond Streets
2222reports without them being verified by an independent person! And think in
2223terms of around ?1000 per report too - get the best!
2224
2225And as always - it comes down to money!
2226
2227Special Needs Tribunals now have a new Head. A Judge who used to be the
2228head of IPSEA. She has a profoundly handicapped child. Would that more
2229people involved in SEN provision knew exactly what it was like to have a child
2230 with special needs!

2238Dear All,
2239
2240I?m to be called as a witness for a Tribunal hearing. The child is a Year6
2241boy with dyspraxia, hypermobility and numeracy difficulties. There really
2242isn?t any dispute about his needs, nor about whether we are meeting them at
2243his (independent) primary school. Parents want an EHC plan to ensure that
2244his needs are fully met when he goes on to (state) secondary school. The LA
2245are saying that his needs will be met by the School, whereas the School is
2246saying things like ?best endeavours?, and ?where possible?. Parents feel
2247that their child was sinking once before in his previous primary school
2248and they are very much afraid that, without the EHC Plan, this will happen
2249again.
2250
2251Does anyone have any advice at all to offer in this situation, either
2252about tactics or the likelihood of success or the tribunal process itself?
2253
2254Parents are trying to make contact with IPSEA, and the LA has employed
2255lawyers.
2256
2257Many thanks,

2309standard of national curriculum tests, including those with special
2310educational needs and disabilities. As part of our work, the members of the
2311Rochford Review are keen to hear the views of anybody with an interest in
2312this area. I would like to invite you to complete our survey
2313https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/rochfordreviewsurvey.
2314
2315
2316
2317We are seeking to gain a wide range of views from stakeholders and would
2318encourage you to share the survey with any of your contacts who may be
2319interested. Please note that all survey responses will be treated as
2320confidential. The survey will close at 23:59 on Monday 22nd February, 2016.
2321
2322
2323
2324Further information about the Rochford Review is available here
2325<https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/the-rochford-review>. Since the
