Governance
Governance of the service whilst ultimately the responsibility of the LA, is led by Springwell School.
Monitoring, Evaluation and Review
The service is reviewed annually against performance indicators to ensure service capacity, quality and impact.
All schools are asked to complete an evaluation form at the end of an intervention, in order to provide quality assurance information and enable the service to continue to improve.
Expectations for school receiving support
- In the case of children with very challenging behaviour, the school will need to have in place a behaviour management plan / risk assessment prior to support as SAOS staff cannot become involved in any form of physical intervention with a pupil.
- Arrange teacher or teaching assistant release time for discussion where appropriate.
- Ensure teaching assistant or teacher is available to work alongside SAOS staff to receive advice and training.
- Develop resources for pupil/student based on the examples shown, adapting them as appropriate.
- Release SENCo, teacher and teaching assistant to discuss progress at review meetings.
- Consistently sustain the support systems and strategies suggested by SAOS between sessions.
- Take responsibility for cascading advice and strategies to other staff members in order to build capacity within school.
- In the event of a cancellation, inform the service as soon as possible.
