Graduated Response
Where a child or young person has a special educational need, to enable them to participate, learn and make progress schools and settings should work in partnership to take action to:
- remove barriers to learning
- put effective special educational provision in place.
Some children and young people will benefit from provision that is different from or additional to what may be seen as average or typical.
The four part cycle - Assess > Plan > Do > Review
SEN support should arise from a four- part cycle, known as the graduated approach, through which earlier decisions and actions are revisited, refined and revised, leading to a growing understanding of the CYP’s needs and of what supports the CYP in making good progress and securing good outcomes.
The graduated approach draws on more personalised approaches, more frequent review and more specialist expertise in successive cycles in order to tailor interventions to meet the particular needs of children and young people.
