The NatSIP workstream looking at outcome measures for CYP with MSI  (workstream 1A.2)  have produced this report.

There is an increasing focus on outcomes in all areas of SEND. NatSIP’s primary aim is to improve outcomes for children and young people with sensory impairments. NatSIP operates an annual benchmarking exercise addressing outcomes achieved by HI, VI and MSI learners who are in mainstream provision. Whilst there are an increasing number of MSI learners shown in this exercise, the majority of MSI learners fall outside this scope.


The aim of the workstream was to develop an outcomes framework to demonstrate the progress of multi-sensory impaired (MSI) learners with a focus on the MSI specific elements of learning, development and wellbeing that allow provisions to ensure that learner needs are supported. In the future, the outcome framework may be used to benchmark progress as an ‘add-on’ to the wider benchmarking exercise.

The report of the pilot of outcome measures for MSI learners can be found pdf here in the document library.
