Wiltshire Indicators & Provision Document
What is it?
The Indicators and Provision Document (IPD), published by Wiltshire County Council’s Department for Children and Education (DCE), relates to children and young people with Special Educational Needs in Wiltshire’s Early Years settings, primary, secondary and special schools.
It should be viewed as good practice guidance on the indicators (how to identify Early Years Action/School Action, Early Years Action Plus/School Action Plus of the SEN Code of Practice) and provision (strategies, actions and support ) for children and young people with SEN in Wiltshire. Schools and Early Years settings are expected to use this document.
The Indicators and Provision Document (IPD), was developed in consultation with colleagues from Early Years, primary and secondary settings as well as support services. It replaces “Wiltshire LEA Special Educational Needs: The Entitlement of Children in Mainstream Schools” (October 2003). It will be used from September 2008.
What is the purpose of the document?
The document will:
- Help to ensure that all Wiltshire’s children and young people (3-16) have equal opportunities in accessing provision for Special Educational Needs
- Offer parents/carers a source of guidance about what provision they can expect if their child has a Special Educational Need
- Facilitate a joint understanding between Early Years settings/schools and support agencies
- Support the Department for Children and Education (DCE) in its statutory duty to monitor, audit and evaluate the effectiveness of Special Educational Needs provision
- Fulfil the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) requirement that each local authority explains what Special Education provision it expects to be made from within maintained schools’ budget shares
