Inclusion Alert!!! Did you know there's a contiuum of placements mandated in the federal regulations? Check out this reg... "Continuum of Alternate Placements: The continuum … must (1) Include the alternative placements listed in the definition of special education under § 300.39 (instruction in regular classes, special classes, special schools, home instruction, and instruction in hospitals and institutions); and (2) Make provision for supplementary services (such as resource room or itinerant instruction) to be provided in conjunction with regular class placement." 34 CFR 300.115(b)

In a report planned for Spring 2025 the Accounts Commission and Auditor General will publish a joint briefing on how well councils and the Scottish Government are addressing demand for additional support learning (ASL) in schools. The number of primary and secondary pupils with recorded ASL needs rose by 84% between 2014 and 2023. 37% of publicly funded school pupils recorded ASL needs. The audit will focus on education departments and their partnerships with councils’ other services, the NHS and third sector bodies – with the paper addressing provision of resources, monitoring needs, and challenges faced. The publication is planned for Spring 2025. You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3NKVVN4

Calling all Year 10 Students with an EHC Plan (education, health and care plan). In this video CXK's Chris Targett shares the importance of open days, especially if you have an EHCP, and covers our killer questions! https://lnkd.in/eDYAZBnE

Follow the link below to view the FREE FACT SHEET by Sunshine Support which outlines what should be included in each section of an EHCP. Visit their profile to find out more about how they can assist parents in securing an EHCP and how they can make sure that the child and parents voice is heard. https://lnkd.in/eAiAw5BT

Are you supporting students in Year 10 with EHC plans? This is the video for you! Due to the requirements of the phased transfer, many LAs require students to name their preferred education provider for Post 16 at the end of Year 10/start of Year 11. This means they need to get out to open days, from October onwards... or they might miss out on exploring what places are best for them. Please share as needed. #inspiringpeopletothrive

As we begin to think about reforms to our accountability system in England, it is fundamentally important that we ask two questions: 1. How do we create a more intelligent (and compassionate) system of accountability? 2. How does it all cohere? Our new paper, The schools accountability and regulatory system in England, outlines our position on reforming regulation and accountability of schools in England, with the aim of building an intelligent and compassionate system of accountability. The paper also proposes an end-state solution for an intelligent, proportionate, and compassionate system with a single independent regulator. In it, we make seven recommendations, including trusts being ever-more explicit and eloquent about their vision and the measures that evidence success.
