Most educational settings should be able to meet the needs of the majority of children and young people with SEND.
Graduated Approach
When a SEN has been identified, the education setting should start a cycle of actions to make sure they put effective support in place. This cycle is called the Graduated Approach.

SEN Support Plan
A SEND Plan should be considered by school when a child is needing more support than is needed by most of the children within the classroom despite quality first teaching being delivered.
This should be a working document that is created by the Class Teacher (with the support of the SENDCo) and developed alongside parent/carers and the child or young person.
The aim of a SEND Support Plan is to remove barriers to learning and to put effective educational provision in place.
Many schools use a SEND Support Plan in Redcar and Cleveland. Some may call it an Independent Learning Plan (ILP), an Individual Education Plan (IEP) or Personal Learning Plan (PLP). They may also have a different format.

SEND Support Plan Plus
This document describes the holistic needs of a child or young person, with considerable detail recorded to describe needs and strategies for how best to meet them.
Parents/carers will be central to this process; the child or young person’s voice will be heard to ensure that needs are understood and that approaches are sufficient and appropriate to meet them, and it will be co-ordinated by the SENDCO.
