Interventions Pathway

The Intent

All students, regardless of need, will receive the support they require to access their learning. Barriers to learning will be identified by a robust assessment and screening process with a clear pathway of support implemented for students who require additional interventions. Students facing adversity or SEMH barriers will be supported through the waves of intervention process offering an extensive package of wellbeing support.

Why Neurodiversity in Schools Project?

  • Autism Schools Project was trialled in other areas (Phase 1) 
  • Stockport joined the second phase from 2022 until now
  • Three components – Teachers, Parents/Carers, pupils
  • Involves neurodivergent pupils not just those with a formal diagnosis of Autism, ADHD etc.

Key principles

  • This is a transformation programme not a training programme
  • Built around autistic children and young people and we will listen and respond to their voice
  • Explore new ways of working
  • It must be co-produced with Parent Carer Forums (PACTS) and support parent groups in schools
  • Training modules rolled out to all
  • Peer awareness

Aims

Increased confidence and knowledge in supporting pupils with social communication needs.

School staff know how to facilitate friendship groups for neurodiverse young people.

Parent/carers have better understanding of support strategies for their child and be more satisfied with education, health and care services

Groups in schools provide parents with peer support and the opportunity to influence and co-produce service changes.

Schools will change culture and behaviour, inclusion will be a habit

Referral routes into specialist services will be smooth and timely (when required)

Children will be happier in school.

School attendance will improve

School exclusions will reduce

The number of electively home educated CYP will be reduced for those who may feel this is their only or last option

The number of part time timetables will reduce or be used for a short time limited period

There will be a reduction in social isolation for CYP and parents/carers

All school staff including teaching and support staff will demonstrate inclusive practice

We will agree as a GM ICS a model of practice for spread and scale to support compliance with the new Autism Strategy

��Impact on Parents�

  • Increase in SEND Parent Carer Forum membership
  • Well attended parent carer groups in schools
  • Support for parents and carers to connect and network
  • Social opportunities for parents

This is such an inspirational idea. I am looking forward to coffee mornings and meeting others in the same circumstances

(Parent)

Parents know their child best and listening can support us in giving the best provision

(Secondary School)

If we get this right for our children with Autism we can get this right for all of our children

(Secondary School)

I feel lately I have very good contact with the sendco at this school unlike in the past

(Parent)

We are on journey and everyone needs to be on the same bus (Primary School)
