Specialist Teacher SEND Support form updated July 2023

As part of our Tiered Approach to supporting schools, Specialist Teachers will be able to provide advice for early intervention for pupils on SEND Support and for those with EHC plans.

To access Specialist Teacher Support please complete the SEND Request Form (open document text form) and email the following documents securely to sts@buckinghamshire.gov.uk:

• the completed form with parent/pupil permission
• the pupil's SEND support plan (and EHCP if applicable). The SEN Support plan must show one complete cycle of Assess, Plan, Do, Review.

Only completed requests with parental consent can be actioned.

Once the request has been received, a Specialist Teacher will contact you via email to arrange a time to discuss.

Any significant and unexpected increase in the statutory work will require us to prioritise the statutory work.

This process has replaced our Advice Sessions and by doing so, we aim to offer a more flexible and regular support for schools. Our contact line remains available for unnamed pupil discussions.
