When you have identified a child of need, it is an ERO directive that this child be discussed at Team Meetings. Your Team and especially your Team Leader, offers ideas/strategies to try. These discussions and the ideas given, must be recorded in your Team minutes.
Once some strategies have been trialled but help is still needed, please ask Leanne for support. It is also important that you have kept the parent in the picture, so if a referral is the way to go, they will be supportive. Parental consent is required for referrals.
Leanne will send you the form below and ask you to provide the following information (typed) and return it by email. If the Cluster does not receive the information they require, especially those areas highlighted below, they WILL NOT accept the application.
