Lincolnshire's SEND and Alternative Provision Inclusion Plan

How do we know our plans are working?

How will we measure success? 

  • We will work continue to work closely with LPCF, LYV and our strategic partners to ensure that children, young people and their families coproduce developments and support in evaluating progress towards milestones
  • robust and meaningful application of appropriate early response to meet children and young people’s additional needs as early as possible through evidence-based strategies and interventions that impact positively on outcomes and prevent their needs from deteriorating
  • improved attendance for children and young people, with part-time timetables only used temporarily as a short-term solution in very exceptional circumstances
  • reduced suspensions and permanent exclusions from educational settings
  • a skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced workforce with the ability to implement robust support that enables children and young people to have their needs met at their local mainstream educational setting with tailored support
  • increased confidence in mainstream schools and the support ordinarily available within the local area to meet children and young people’s needs  
  • a reduced reliance and demand on specialist support and provision, including specialist settings, alternative placements, and specialist services as a result of strengthen early intervention and confidence in mainstream provision
  • increased achievements and positive outcomes gained by children and young people with additional needs
  • flexible, proactive, and coherent planning across transitions that provides children and young people and their families with the support and appropriate preparation to move confidently between the various phases and stages of education and, eventually, into adulthood
  • positive feedback from children and young people and parent and carers, with support tailored to individual needs that enables children and young people to make positive choices and feel that they belong in their school and local community

How will we keep our plan under review?

Lincolnshire’s inclusion plan will form the basis of Lincolnshire’s inclusion action plan, which will be reviewed as part of a governance and review process.  The inclusion plan will be formally reviewed and updated on an annual basis at the end of each academic year
