Assess, Plan, Do, Review (APDR)

• The SSP will be reviewed by the time agreed in the plan.  The review should be carried out in collaboration with the CYP and their family.
• Everyone involved in the process should decide together: 
  • Whether the planned support is having a positive impact 
  • Whether the outcomes have been, or are being, achieved 
  • Whether new outcomes need to be identified
  • Whether the support needs to continue, or alternative support should be implemented (e.g. at a more targeted level)

The setting's graduated approach should be clearly and accessibly set out in their SEND policy.  Schools should also set this out in the SEN Information Report (SIR).  SEND policies and SIRs must be reviewed and updated annually and published on a setting's website. Further information on SEN Information Reports, and a best practice guide, are available on the Norfolk SEND Local Offer.

In light of the recently announced Inclusive Mainstream Funding, which is to support mainstream settings to meet SEND needs more flexibly, effectively and earlier, drawing on their core funding, the Department for Education (DfE) also requires all mainstream schools in England to publish an Inclusion Strategy by 31 December 2026.  More information about the requirements for this can be found here.  Guidance about the requirements linked to this funding for Post-16 settings can be found here.  More information about the Inclusive Early Years Funding can be found here.
