- How will both you and I know how my child/young person is doing and how will you help me to support my child's/young person's learning?
Families are fully involved at their child's placement at The Children's Trust and are invited to attend regular meetings and their feedback is welcomed. The progress of children is documented and openly shared with parents and carers.
- What training have the staff supporting children and young people with SEND had? Are any being trained currently?
We have an unparalleled reputation in our field thanks to our commitment to meeting the diverse needs of these children and their families, coupled with our ability to deliver the best possible combination of nursing, therapy, medical care and education. Staff undertake continuing professional development both in-house and externally and are fully trained to meet the diverse needs of the children we work with. All staff undertake safeguarding training and first aid training is completed as required.
- How accessible is the setting/school/college enviroment?
All our facilities are fully accessible. Staff ensure each child participates to the best of their ability in decision making, their individual timetable, and play and leisure activities. We use a range of communication aids to enable all children to participate even if they are non-verbal. Please feel free to contact us in advance to discuss your specific needs and we will work with you to resolve any access issues as far as possible.
- How will the setting/school/college prepare and support my child/young person to join the setting/school/college or the next stage of education and life?
We work closely with families, referrers, funders, and all community professionals to ensure continuity of care, and where appropriate, smooth transition to follow-on placements and/or a return home. For children accessing our brain injury rehabilitation services and/or transitional care, we work closely with community teams and provide training for teachers, nursing teams and therapists. Our Brain Injury Community Services also provide training and support for schools to help children with brain injury remain in education.
- How is the decision made about what type and how much support my child/young person will receive?
