How do we involve parents/carers in the education of children with SEND?

At school, we have:

• an open door policy to listen to parents/carers about their concerns
• regular SEND review meetings to discuss children’s progress and provision
• parents’ evening where parents’ views are discussed and collected
• annual EHCP review meetings for children with EHC plans
• Half-Yearly Support Plan meetings for children with Support Plans
• Regular meetings with specialist agencies to discuss their child’s progress and provision.
• Home/school communication books
• Homework diaries and folders
• Family workshops and class assemblies
• Parent questionnaires and consultations to identify ‘what’s working’ and ‘what’s not working’.
• Parents’ coffee mornings.
