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 BIE
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 and ensure we know where the pupils are

Intervention / support will be varied and individualised to meet the needs of the child and setting. Support programmes may include:

Discussion with teachers/TAs/SENCOs/SLT around current challenges, difficulties and barriers that impact on inclusion and learning
Training in ABI for staff
Facilitation of discussions around pupil needs
Participation in annual reviews, EHCP meetings which may be in the form of reports or attendance

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.
