News for Norfolk Education Providers

Norfolk's Ofsted/CQC Area SEND and Alternative Provision inspection is expected between September and Christmas. Settings may be visited or involved in case studies, and staff should be prepared to explain their role, the impact of their work, and how they contribute to supporting children and families across the partnership.

Following the survey sent out <a href=https://www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk/article/77668/Call-for-feedback-to-inform-development-work---Ordinarily-Available-Provision-OAP-and-PEaSS>in Together on 21 April</a> to ask for feedback about the current draft Early Years OAP and PEaSS, we are holding a consultation session to ask for feedback about the reviewed tool on 6 July and would really value your input.

A reminder that Ask Taylor is now available - a WhatsApp-based digital helper for young carers aged 14-18 (and up to 25 with SEND) across Norfolk. Please continue to promote within your setting by downloading the poster to print and display.

Join ICT Solutions and NAACE for a fun and informative 60-minute training session on how to kickstart your journey with the EdTech Review Framework (ERF), designed to introduce you to the leading tool for evaluating, planning, and improving digital technology use across your school or setting.

A series of videos created with Norfolk schools is showcasing effective inclusive practice in mainstream settings, reaching nearly 29,000 views from parents and carers this term. Watch some of the most popular videos here, and let us know if you have a story to tell.

Do you have SEND children and families needing extra support? Would they benefit from speaking in person to over 20 SEND services? If so, join this free information event on 8 July for parents and carers who have a child with SEND.
