Making Sense of Annual Reviews

This training is delivered by West Sussex SEND Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIAS) on behalf of Reaching Families

If your child has an EHC Plan then you may be aware that the law states that this Plan should be reviewed annually (or sooner if needed). This is commonly known as the ‘Annual Review’. The review process and timeframes for actions to be taken by the education setting and the Local Authority are also stated in law and statutory guidance and parent carers should have opportunities be able to be fully involved with this process.

By the end of this workshop you will know how the Annual Review process works, how and when you can be involved, the statutory timeframes, how the Review Meeting should be conducted (before and during) and what happens afterwards. You will also know how and when an interim / emergency review can be asked for.

Please note this workshop is funded by Reaching Families for parents and carers of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities in West Sussex only. It is not suitable for professionals.

Registration - In order that the trainer can have a better understanding of your young person with additional needs and tailor the workshop to your needs, we are requesting details during booking about their age and diagnosis (if appropriate) or description of needs.
