To follow up pupils who have finished their rehabilitation programmes at The Children’s Trust to ensure they are accessing an educational placement
To offer Brain Injury Education (BIE) alongside The Children's Trust Psychologists
Services
Provide training/information on the educational implications of an acquired brain injury. This may be alongside educational psychologists or therapists within the team at TCT
Attend relevant meetings including annual reviews as requested / if possible for up to 12 months following discharge
Advise on adapted resources and support materials if appropriate
Transition work
Teachers will write Initial Education Reports outlining strengths, needs, and effective support strategies. These reports will be updated at the point of discharge.
Teachers will meet or make contact with teachers/SENCOs of next educational placements if possible
The Class Teacher or Follow Up Lead will contact the pupil’s receiving school before or soon after discharge if a school has been identified to arrange Brain Injury Education
If a school has not been identified before the child leaves The Children’s Trust we will keep in touch with the LA and/or parents so that we can offer support once the child has a school placement
Factors affecting the level of transition support
Support will only be offered to schools with parental/carer consent. If consent is not given, a single check with school / LA will be made to ensure that the child is receiving schooling.
