Early Years Inclusion and SEND information
Welcome to Early Years Inclusion and SEND
We support inclusion by working with Warwickshire Early Years Providers and other professionals in developing inclusive and SEND provision.
We support individual children and their who have difference in their communication, interaction, learning and physical development. We work alongside a range or professionals including our Hearing and Vision colleagues.
Who we are
We are a team of Child Development Advisers, SEND Childcare Coordinators, Inclusion Mentors and Specialist Teachers. We support inclusion at Universal Level and children in the early years with SEND at Targeted and Specialist Level.
| Level of support | Description |
|---|---|
| Exceptional circumstance | This is a bespoke package for a child who is very unwell, a child who has recently come into the county, or where the situation has changed rapidly. |
| Specialist | Children with long term and complex communication, interaction, play, physical, and self-regulation needs are supported through EYIS working with a range of others offering assessment, support and advice. Specialist training, including manual handling, is available. |
| Targeted with external support | Referral made to EYIS for individual support for children. For children under 3 this may be at home if they are not yet attending an EY education provider. Advice, assessment and support is offered. With EY providers this builds on the work already completed at targeted level. |
| Targeted | Families may access support within their community. EY providers will support children with targeted work to improve outcomes managed within their own resources. |
| Universal | Families will access universal services such as their health visitor and Best Start in Life Family Hub. EY providers are offered a range of Inclusion and SEND training, including access to the Early Years Briefing, the Facebook page and the Local Offer. An on-call advice line is available for all enquiries. |
