The Special Educational Needs and Disability Statutory Assessment and Review team will now be known as SENDSTART. This is the team that settings, parents and carers, children or young people ask for an EHCP needs assessment. SENDSTART follow a process that is explained in the SEND Code of Practice (2014). This team is tier 4 of The Graduated Approach.
Before now there was a single SEND Manager, Danielle Smith, who was responsible for all the staff in the SEND Assessment team and their workload of EHCPs. Danielle is still the manager of the whole team. But, the new larger staff team have been split into 6 new groups that are now called ‘Localities’.
Each Locality has its own dedicated staff team.
A Locality is either an area of Wirral or a group of schools. Some localities describe the age of the young people they support. Some describe the area on Wirral their school is in. Each locality manager also has expertise in one of six key aspects of EHCPs and will be able to support everyone in the SENDSTART team with advice and specialist knowledge.
