SEND Code of Practice:  SEN support in schools

Applying the assess-plan-do review cycle to pupils with a hearing impairment  (Document v2 December 2015)

The SEND Code of Practice requires schools to apply a graduated response to meeting the needs of pupils based on the assess-plan-do review cycle. 

Where a pupil is identified as having SEN, schools should take action to remove barriers to learning and put effective special educational provision in place. This SEN support should take the form of a four-part cycle through which earlier decisions and actions are revisited, refined and revised with a growing understanding of the pupil’s needs and of what supports the pupil in making good progress and securing good outcomes. This is known as the graduated approach. It draws on more detailed approaches, more frequent review and more specialist expertise in successive cycles in order to match interventions to the SEN of children and young people.
