Guidance notes for professionals

GENERAL

The form is the only formal output from an annual review meeting apart from:

Person-centred materials such as the child’s contribution (if parents wish, you can attach information from the meeting such as copies of post-its, flipchart or whiteboard notes)

A career plan and other statutory pathway or transition plan, if available An amended EHCP in Word if you prefer to record your suggested changes this way e.g. at a

phase transfer when all outcomes need to be updated for end of next phase of education. Please use red or bold for additions and strikeout for deletions

Evidence and reports to support any change requested to provision (e.g. SALT report to confirm higher or lower speech language therapy provision)

School provision map showing current and future allocations of funding (both SEN Support and EHCP top-up) if an increase or decrease in provision is proposed for Section F (this is not mandatory, but panel members find it a useful tool).

The Local Authority does not need any additional minutes or short-term targets, but you may record short-term targets on a separate sheet and attach them, if this is helpful for parents.

PAGE 1

Contribution from the child can include

photograph (can be used during the person-centred meeting) drawing/picture of something that is important to the child or work that they are proud of photograph of a friend/object/pet that makes them happy or calm anything else e.g. Vimeo secure website address for a video the child has made ANY written contribution from the child or ‘about me’ form above

Date of person-centred meeting

- The date of the main Annual Review session which is normally the main discussion session with the child, young person, and/or their parents or carers and any professionals involved

Type of Review

Annual Review - must be arranged at least every 12 months by the school/provider

Early review - held early due to an emergency or sudden change in circumstancese.g. setting can no longer meet needs, family crisis affecting attendance, serious illness, health involvement necessary

- next review will be 1 year after this review- use same person-centred process and agenda as other reviews

Phase Transfer Review - The SEN Team must issue amended final EHCPs by 15th Feb prior to phase transfers. To achieve this, we must receive proposed updates by October therefore we ask settings to hold their person-centred review meetings in the summer term of the previous year

Please note that that a review must be held within 1 year of the previous review. The timing does not begin from the date of an amended EHCP, the date a child starts at a new school or setting, or the date of previous review minutes.

SECTION 1: WHO TOOK PART- health and social care professionals should be invited to annual reviews. This is essential if a child

is known to professionals in those sectors or if there may be a need which requires input from these professionals.

- professionals listed in Part K of the EHCP should be invited unless no longer relevant / involved.

- the Local Authority may be represented by someone from the SEN team, social care teams, Connexions, SENSS, an Educational Psychologist, or another Local Authority service involved with the child or young person, but the Local Authority does not have a duty to attend all annual review meetings. Attendance is decided based on a case by case basis.

SECTION 2: CHILD’S INFORMATIONsections 1 – 4

- copy paste content from child’s EHCP and make amendments in bold or red

OR

- enter only the changed/updated information into the table provided

Section 5

Child’s year group: if a child has been held back by 1 year or more, please consider the best plan for moving them back to their chronological year (e.g. transition a year early). If the plan is for them to remain out of year, please provide reasons in Section 5 Other Notes.

Attendance since last review or for current school year: provide the most convenient figure but the period it covers must illustrate the child’s recent pattern of attendance.

Comments regarding attendance:

- if attendance is below 95% or persistently unauthorised, provide full details in Section 5 Other Notes (e.g. recurring illnesses, anxiety)

- confirm that Hounslow’s Education Welfare Officer has been notified if attendance below 85%

- if a low figure is caused by exclusions or reduced timetables, please provide full details

Any exclusions and/or reduced timetable since the last annual review: if yes, please provide

- existing school data showing the number and length of any fixed term exclusions (parent will have received a letter from the Head Teacher detailing their right of appeal)

- a list of all ‘informal’ exclusions (parents have not received a letter from the Head Teacher) e.g. child sent home early, reduced timetables, even if agreed with parents. Please provide the name of the Local Authority officer who provided authorisation for any reduction in teaching hours

- details of how and when the child was reintegrated back to full time education

- details of additional measures provided to support the child’s successful return to the setting or back to full time education

- details about permanent exclusion (a child with an EHCP should not be permanently excluded without an early review taking place unless there are exceptional circumstances; in this case, a person-centred review should take place during the appeal period).

Translation requirements / barriers to family’s engagement or attendance at meetings

This may include hearing impaired parents who require a BSL signer, learning disabled parents who may require an advocate or help from staff to understand documents, visually impaired parents who may require large print or other accessible formats etc.

SECTION 3: SUMMARY OF PERSON-CENTRED MEETINGIt must be written in the third person (he/she or child’s name) if an adult completes a form or document on behalf of the child and the name of the supporting adult must be added.

general principles:- we do not recommend completing the Annual Review Form during the meeting. It should be a

person-centred session with all participants taking an equal part. No professional jargon should be used. In this form, please summarise just the main points.

participation in the review:- record any comments from the child or family about the review process and detail how the child’s

perspective was obtained e.g. quiz, pictures, video, role play, written communication

like and admire:- include strengths, achievements, things the child is proud of and parents or staff are proud of,

pleased with, surprised by

important to me and for me- include aspirations, hobbies, special people, pets, special interests, and any state of mind or small

goal or activity that tells us something about the child’s priorities in life

- parent’s aspirations and priorities and staff views on things that should be taken account of when planning for the child and things that motivate and engage the child

working / not working:- what is helping the child to make progress, what has led to their achievements and will enable

their strengths to be developed?

- what is a barrier to progress, what is the child still finding difficult or hard to overcome?

action plan:- are the outcomes in the plan building on what is working and changing what’s not working, are

they aiming to develop the child’s successes and strengths and things they are proud of, are they important to and for the child, and does it help them to move closer to their aspirations?

- does the provision meet needs and achieve outcomes, do we know how it does this, by when and how it will be measured?

- How does the provision use the child’s own priorities and strengths to remove any barriers and enable the child to move forward in their own way?

Other guidance:- please consider preparation for adulthood at all ages, further details about Preparation for

Adulthood can be found on the Hounslow Local Offer in the Annual Review Meetings section

- YEAR 9: in this year, the preparation for adulthood headings must be discussed by looking ahead to adult life and thinking of the various pathways towards this. These headings show how outcomes are set out in the EHCP from year 10 and can also be used from year 9, if the child and parents are happy to do this. They will replace communication and interaction, language and communication etc. unless there is a particular need to keep these headings because of the child’s needs (these can also be used as sub-headings).

- please use this agenda for the review meeting. Further detailed guidance is will be published on the Hounslow Local Offer in the Annual Review Meetings section

- this section is a summary of the key points from the meeting, other materials from the meeting may be attached and we suggest that a copy is retained by the child/child’s family

- the colour-coding continues throughout the form: we expect that any proposed amendments to the EHCP arise directly from these person-centred discussions

- children can attend part, all or none of the meeting but efforts must be made to obtain their views in whatever way is best for them. It is acceptable for them to write, draw or type views on any topic that they wish if it shows something about their state of mind or views about their special educational needs or disability. If their communication illustrates significant anxiety or disengagement (for example, many pupils find thinking about the future extremely difficult), this is valuable information about the current impact of their needs

- parents/carers sometimes are unable or unwilling to attend annual reviews. A person-centred meeting should take place even if neither parents nor the child attend

- children should not be ‘led’ to an aspiration or long-term goal if not ready or if they do not understand the implications, we want to hear whatever they are currently able or willing to communicate e.g. likes, dislikes, day to day priorities, things they look forward to, things, people or situations that provoke a strong positive or negative reaction etc.

- children should not be ‘led’ to preferences about placements. The process starts with aspirations and what is important, then strengths and challenges, and arrives at the provision needed to meet child-centred outcomes. It does not begin with the provision or funding status

- if the child attends, the meeting must be made accessible to them. Small but significant changes can help the child or young person to feel that this is their plan and meeting. For example, they could chair (or jointly chair), offer refreshments they have made, and create the agenda themselves

- The dates in each section allow settings to create a rolling annual review document that is amended each year without the need to repeat previously agreed items

How did the child and their family participate in the review?

- For the family this may simply be ‘attended person-centred meeting’ but if not, please explain how views were sought such as emails or phone conversations, and the child’s engagement process

SECTION 4: PROGRESS TOWARDS OUTCOMES, AND PROVISION- The first 4 columns can be copy and pasted from the EHCP or you can just paste in the outcomes

and add this year’s progress marks and any changes you wish to note in the other columns

- at phase transfer, list all outcomes, amend, delete or replace as necessary, and redraft provision, if necessary. You can also just amend the EHCP itself using bold/red and strikeout. The outcomes must be changed to be appropriate up to the end of the next transition point. All changes to provision will need to be based on evidence, normally set out in the reports provided before the meeting or derived from parent and child views

- record a progress mark for each outcome alongside the date of the review

o A: achieved – the outcome can be removed or replaced when the plan is next updatedo B: remains appropriate. Some outcomes may not be on target to be achieved in full

by the end of key stage, but nevertheless remain a good target for the child to work towards; in these cases, the outcome would remain appropriate

o C: no longer appropriate – at the end of keys stage, it will be removed or replaced. It should no longer be used to form short term targets – please consider if this also implies a change to provision

Year 9: Pathways to Adulthood

- please discuss the 4 Preparation for Adulthood headings in the review meeting from year 9 onwards. Parents should be made aware of significant changes that occur at ages 16 and 18 such as transition to adult services, changes to welfare benefits, changes in eligibility for transport assistance, and matters such as mental capacity, and the fact that the young person’s views will have more weight

- all schools and colleges have an obligation to provide personalised careers advice and guidance to children and young people from year 9 including those with special educational needs

- this does not mean setting out standard options for the next placement but should involve careful planning around the child’s aspirations then developing outcomes that will help the child to achieve their important goals

- The 4 categories (pathway to employment, independent living, participation in society and health) are designed to help you and the young person to set these goals. Career plans should contain possible pathways starting from adulthood (no longer in education or training) and working backwards to establish the interventions needed and the best route to take

In Year 10, Preparation for Adulthood headings must be used in the EHCP instead of the 4 broad areas of need (cognition, communication, SEMH and physical/sensory) although subheadings using these categories can be used, if appropriate. Outcomes will be amended based on discussions around possible pathways to adulthood.

Writing or updating provision

THE PROVISION SECTION CAN BE LEFT BLANK IF NO UPDATES ARE NECESSARY.

IF YOU ARE RECOMMENDING AMENDMENTS TO PROVISION, COPY THE RELEVANT PARTS FROM THE EHCP AND USE STRIKEOUT, BOLD / RED TO AMEND OR AMEND THE EHCP DOCUMENT ITSELF.The purpose of the Annual Review is to check if outcomes remain appropriate. If most are still relevant and reflect the person-centred feedback, then there is no need to copy content from the EHCP.

- For mainstream settings, sub-headings are recommended for new or amended provision as follows:

o reasonable adjustments and SEN support / in-setting support (provision met from delegated schools funding, inclusion funding or element 2)

o Local Authority top-up / high needs / EHCP funding

Reasonable adjustments include any special consideration given that is different to other students, and any adaptation of school/class rules to take account of a disability (all school rules must be adaptable, if this is necessary for the child to access learning)

SEN Support may include interventions listed in the ‘Hounslow SEN Support in Schools, Colleges and Early Years Settings’ document on the Hounslow Local Offer, interventions detailed in the school’s SEN Information Report or Learning Support offer or any other provision provided in school.

High needs / EHCP provision is that which triggered the need for an EHCP e.g. additional TA hours, a speech and language therapy package, an occupational therapy package, CAMHS tier 3 or 4 provision, NHS funded interventions etc.

- please note that requests for additional EHCP/high needs provision must be accompanied by evidence e.g. a request for additional or reduced speech and language therapy should be accompanied by a report from the speech and language therapist working with the child (and their report must contain evidence of the level of provision delivered to date, progress made, needs that have been or are not being met, suggested SMART outcomes, and quantification of provision requested or that which should be removed)

- Panel like to see a provision map showing how school is already allocating their SEN Support funding, existing EHCP / high needs funding and how additional or a reduction in provision will be allocated

- when replacing all or most outcomes ahead of phase transfer, we recommend a small number of outcomes (between 3 and 10) and these should reflect the things that are most important to or for the child or young person as agreed in Section 3

- EHCP content should mainly be in the form of bullet points, and be as short, concise and accessible as possible (no jargon)

- Section G is completed only if there are health needs set out in Part C. It can contain provision funded by the NHS in which case content would be provided by the CCG commissioner or specialist practitioner, or it can contain medical provision delivered by school or by universal health services (such as a GP), and reasonable adjustments (e.g. child has poor vision in their left eye and needs to sit on the right-hand side of the classroom)

- Section H1 is completed only if there are social care needs set out in Part D. It is exclusively for the use of children’s social care and would be provided in a care plan by a designated social worker

- Section H2 is completed only if there are social care needs set out in Part D and, if the family is known to social care, contribution should be provided by a social worker. It can also include short breaks or services that are listed on the Hounslow Local Offer in which case it would be helpful to record here the kinds of targeted or universal services that are particularly suitable for the child e.g. martial arts may be more suitable for an ASD child who cannot participate in team sports

- a child’s needs are not expected to change annually, and so are not the focus of the annual review

- there may be a change in need when a health condition changes, new diagnoses are identified as the child moves to a new stage of development (e.g. mental health conditions that develop during adolescence), or a more debilitating impact of an existing condition occurs such as the development of selective mutism in an anxious child. In these cases, new needs should be recorded with associated outcomes and provision. A report should be attached that provides advice or evidence for any new or change to the needs section of an EHCP (Section B)

- Sometimes needs should be removed alongside associated outcomes and provision e.g. when a child’s toileting needs are met, or a child is able to walk or travel independently. Please record this in the comments column next to the outcome concerned which will be marked as A achieved.

Personal budgets:

- if a family requests a personal budget, please enter the details in the form. The Local Authority will respond in writing to this request. If the parent/carer wishes to deliver provision via a personal budget on school premises, they must first ask for the permission of the school or setting concerned.

SECTION 5: OTHER NOTES- please record anything else that could not be properly included elsewhere, for example, if an

urgent placement change is requested, reasons and suggested type of placement may be set out here

- detailed exclusions or attendance information should be in this section, if relevant

SECTION 6: SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS

Phase Transfer Recommendations

This will not be interpreted as a formal parental preference, but it gives the Local Authority a helpful idea of the options being considered. Final parental preference is sought with the draft amended EHCP.

SECTION 7: ACADEMIC ATTAINMENT- If there are clear learning and skills outcomes in Section E against which attainment progress is

recorded, this section can be left blank.

- A school or setting may attach their own progress tracking report instead of completing this table.

- Where appropriate, please record subjects studied and examination details (predicted or actual grades, for example, including SAT levels).

- Attainment information should show the Local Authority clearly and concisely at what level the child is working, particularly in Early Years Foundation Stage targets and, for schools, core subjects (maths, reading, writing), and the level they are working towards. Use age-equivalent or another assessment level, but it must be one that we are used to.

- Looked after children (LAC), please attach the Personal Education Plan (PEP) from virtual school if you have one and aim to combine the annual review meeting with one of the child’s PEP/LAC Review meetings

- If a child is expected to transition to adult social care or to adult health services please describe any conversations held and decisions made, and attach a transition plan, if one is already available

SECTION 8: EXAM ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS (WHERE RELEVANT)- It is helpful if current, approved exam access arrangements are recorded for the benefit of the

next setting. Please attach any assessments or reports that you will be able to pass on.

- Note: the EHCP may be provided to the JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) as evidence of the child’s disability but it does not constitute proof of exam access details. Tests necessary to establish eligibility for access arrangements are not funded by the Local Authority from high needs /EHCP funding allocations.

SECTION 9: TRANSPORT- Whilst not normally part of an EHCP nor the statutory review process, it is helpful to spend 1 or 2

minutes at the end of a meeting if possible to look forward to plan independent travel training which can be one of the most life-changing achievements for a young person with SEN.
