252 - Beyond the SENCo Folder: Is Inclusion Really Happening?

Are you confident you could evidence the graduated approach for every child who needs additional support?

The graduated approach - assess, plan, do, review - should be a continuous cycle that helps you understand a child's needs, respond effectively and adapt support when something isn't working. But in busy early years settings, it can easily become a SENCo document rather than something that is visible in everyday practice.

This episode explores what the graduated approach should actually look like in practice, from identifying concerns and involving parents to ensuring practitioners know what support is being provided and leaders have clear oversight of its impact.

By listening, you'll learn how to:

Identify whether your graduated approach is genuinely working as a continuous cycle rather than simply being paperwork.

Strengthen your assess, plan, do and review process with clear outcomes, strategies, responsibilities and review points.

Recognise the evidence that demonstrates strong inclusive practice, practitioner accountability and effective leadership oversight.

Press play now and discover how to turn your graduated approach from a folder of paperwork into a responsive cycle that makes a real difference for children.
