Outreach & Training
The Chiltern Special School SEND Outreach Service offers an extended range of support by working collaboratively with mainstream schools to build capacity and confidence in meeting the needs of a wider range of children and young people with SEND.
Who is the service for?
- Schools within Central Bedfordshire (South - The Chiltern School, North - Ivel Valley School).
- Children/young people in Year 1 to Year 11 with a range of special educational needs (who require support beyond the Universal level - with or without a diagnosis and with or without an EHCP).
- Reception children with a Central Bedfordshire EHCP.
- Out of County children/young people with a Central Bedfordshire EHCP.
The Chiltern Special School SEND Outreach Service is a school based service. Support may include:
- Observation of the child/young person
- Meeting with the child/young person
- Meetings with SENDCo/teaching staff
- Meeting with the child/young person’s family
- Written recommendations/advice
- Staff training on a range of SEND topics, including Manual Handling, Autism Awareness and bespoke training needs.
Making a referral
To meet the criteria for a request for consultation, the school needs to provide evidence of at least two completed cycles of the Assess/Plan/Do/Review process. This will show how strategies have been implemented to support the child/young person and the impact of this.
