I offer an
independent set
of fresh eyes in the
review of your
case file.
This
case study shows how partnership between the local authority and the
Independent Support service in transfer
reviews for moving children and young people with statements
of SEN to Education, Health and Care plans has led to better quality plans reflecting the wishes, views and aspirations
of children and young people.
This
case study illustrates how
Independent Support, Barnsley Children and Young People and Partnership Service and Barnsley's Assessment and
Review Team have worked together to raise awareness among families, schools and others
of how Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessment and planning works and support is provided to young people and families.
