SEND Reflection Tool
Are you looking to strengthen your team’s inclusion knowledge, practice and the provision you provide for children and their families? The SEND Reflection Tool can help you to achieve this.
The SEND Reflection Tool has six sections:
- Leading SEND Practice
- Whole Team Approach
- Working with Children and Families
- Assessment, Early Identification and Support
- Effective Use of Funding and Resources
- The Local Offer.
The SEND Reflection Tool provides you with a self-reflective framework to evaluate aspects of your team’s SEND knowledge, your whole team practice and the quality of the provision you deliver to children and their families. The tool will facilitate and empower reflective discussions within your team and help you to identify your setting’s key strengths and areas for development. This tool has been designed to provide flexibility in how it is used and is designed to be revisited overtime as part of your quality improvement cycle.

These meetings will provide the opportunity for settings to learn from each other, share examples of great practice, discuss challenges they are facing and how these might be overcome.
