Q: The SEND team is overrun with files and paperwork which seem to be all about tick-box exercises. Can we get past this?
I advocate the use of the 15-page-a-minute scanner which costs in the range of £50 and the use of one day of admin time to upload all SEND files onto your computer system. I recommend you store them in files hyperlinked to a provision map (Inclusion Expert’s provision map is free to download).
Most of these documents are genuinely irrelevant – especially when they are stuck at the back of a huge file that is groaning so much that you can’t even close it. A significant current problem for many schools’ SEND is that there is too much information – and the important stuff tends to get lost.
