Graduated Response

Stage 1: Initiate APDR - whole‑setting approach to identifying need and removing barriers to learning.

·        Assess - discussion with key staff; VSEND profile; capture child and parent/carer views; gather assessment information.

·        Plan - create a time‑limited support plan; whole‑school approaches; high‑quality inclusive teaching and adaptation; use VSEND and the Essential Toolkit.

·        Do - implement agreed adjustments, support and interventions; SENDCo supports teachers; link interventions to classroom teaching; agree review date.

·        Review - assess quality, effectiveness and impact with child and parents/carers; update APDR cycle.

Stage 2: Less than expected progress despite evidence‑based support - seek Specialist Education Services (SES) support (Inclusion Service Meeting/referral); SEND Support Consultation; Educational Psychologist (EP) Analysis of Additional Needs Tool (AANT); explore traded services; refer to external agencies (Health, Mental Health, Early Help, Social Care); consider High Tariff Needs (HTN) funding.

Stage 3: Higher level of support and intervention - continue APDR; review impact of funding; consider request for an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment (EHCNA).
