We are aware that a significant issue currently facing is the level and complexity of need in Reception class intakes.  From our casework and conversations with school staff, it seems that language and communication skills are a primary barrier.

NEW Request for complex needs referral form

# data[].attributes.body
For KS2, CISS offers collaborative online consultations to explore concerns whilst helping professionals to identify areas for change. This is followed by an action plan incorporating goals for change, short term targets and specific actions to support identified need. After 4 weeks there will be an observation and evaluation visit. This will be to observe the interventions decided during the action plan and to evaluate their use and effectiveness.

# data[].attributes.body
For EFYS and KS1, CISS undertakes observations and screening assessments to identify any potential underlying SEN, completes baseline assessments, and compiles a written report, with advice and strategies to support school staff in meeting the child’s needs.

CISS also provides supportive visits to help schools implement advice and strategies in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
For children with complex needs, where those needs have already been assessed by external professionals

CISS offer targeted implementation support for children whose needs have already been assessed at Level 3 on the continuum of needs. The support is available for children who already have an EHCp and / or where there has been assessment and recommendations made by external professionals (e.g., EP, SALT, Paediatrician). Support will include two visits, helping key staff to effectively implement existing plans and advice aimed at reducing unwanted behaviour. This service is for YR, KS1 and KS2 children.

Prior to referral it is strongly advised that the assessing professional is contacted to inform them of barriers to implementing their recommendations and to seek further guidance as appropriate.
