Link planning meetings
The Link planning meeting is an opportunity to discuss both individual pupils and strategic needs of your school with your link Educational Psychologist and specialist teacher.
You will have a number of hours from both your link EP and ST to use throughout the year. These hours are based on the capacity within the staff team and therefore need to be distributed evenly across the year. Many schools report dividing the time into termly blocks helpful.
The Link EP and ST may do work separately or, there may be a particular projects or pieces of work where the EP and ST work together.
It is important to have EP and ST together in order to plan, as far as possible the best use of SEND hours and to benefit from the perspective of the two disciplines.
You do not need to mention all children with SEND at your school at the planning meeting. We understand that there may be times where priorities change. If this is the case please contact your link EP and/or ST via email or phone call.
