10. Review arrangements

Following the implementation of identified interventions, practitioners should review the child's progress with their specialist teacher. Where monies from the Inclusion Fund have been provided to the setting, the review should document and evidence:

  • How the funding, and any additional moneys available, for example: DAF, EYPP, have been used and the impact of this on the identified outcomes for the child/group

It is expected that some children will have had their needs effectively addressed and that no further Inclusion Fund support is required. It is also acknowledged that for some children a period of ongoing intervention supported by the specialist teacher to consolidate progress may be needed, though this may not require ongoing Inclusion Fund Support.

As part of a review of the child's progress, for example, TLP review, TAF meeting, where practitioners, supported by the assessments of the specialist teacher, identify that the child has needs which continue to meet the criteria for Inclusion Fund, the specialist teacher will approve and make arrangement for the continuation of funding.
