Aims

• 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 EHCP reviews as requested / possible
• 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.
• 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.
• The level of need of the pupil
