Image description

Graphic demonstrating the graduated approach. It’s a circular image, showing four stages, with supporting text around the outside.

At the top of the image is the word start, with a box underneath containing the statement: School staff notice and explore reasons for changes in attendance. Schools and parents work in partnership using ordinarily available inclusive provision.

An arrow goes clockwise to another statement: Not making expected progress – concerns about attendance remain.

Another arrow goes to stage 1 on the circle, which is Assess: identify strengths and barriers.

Arrows then continue clockwise around to circle to the remaining stages.

Stage 2 is Plan: intentions linked to barriers to learning

Stage 3 is Do: implement

Stage 4 is Review: impact assessment and next steps.

After stage 4 is an arrow to the left, leading to the statement: Good progress means SEN support no longer needed. Another clockwise arrow on the circle links back to stage 1 if the process needs to be repeated.
