Adjustments, Unravelling EHCPs & Growing Up 20th January 2016 Dear All Busy, busy, busy…
Reasonable Adjustments #1… "I just want to be like everyone else" We have just published a Guide to Reasonable Adjustments for parents and carers. This booklet provides examples what a 'reasonable adjustment' looks like, an overview of the law and points to sources of further information. Reasonable adjustments apply for all children and young people, in mainstream and specialist schools. This project has been a genuine example of equal partnership and co-production – across differing Achieving for Children departments, Schools, Parents, Young People and SEND Family Voices; from writing a school’s survey, drafting the plan & strategy, conducting the Chocolate Cake Consultations, to producing this booklet (alongside the overview tied into the detail & living document on the Local Offer). We hope that it will make a real difference to children and young people's experience of school. An electronic copy is attached and you can also find it on the Local Offer. If you would like a copy, or copies, sent to you – just reply with a postal address.
Reasonable Adjustments #2… Win a Red Letter Day Design competition – we’ve mentioned this before and attached is the poster. We’ve advertised this through schools, but can’t be sure how many will take up the offer. If your young person, or group would like to enter – go for it!
