I have concerns about my child’s academic progress. What do I do next?

Any concerns you as a parent/carer have regarding your child having a specific learning difficulty e.g. dyslexia, should be discussed initially with your child’s teacher and where concerns have been on-going, with the school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).

As part of the ‘graduated approach’, schools can request additional provision from the CLD team in the form of 1:1 or small group intervention to improve pupil outcomes. Ordinarily, the focus would be on literacy or numeracy skill development.

The CLD team offers a wide variety of twilight, half and full day training packages. These can be purchased as part of a subscribing school’s allocated hours, or as a ‘spot purchase’ where a setting is non-subscribing. Courses offered are aimed at developing understanding, knowledge and skills for staff that work in schools and educational establishments to support pupils with SEND, and in turn, improve outcomes.

Enhanced SEND skills for staff in schools and settings

Some children and young people with autism may need additional support as they transition (or move) from one setting to another. A range of help is available to support you and your child or young person to prepare for a change.

Our vision is for all children and young people to attend an educational setting which they feel welcomed and where the school culture and values actively seeks to foster a sense of belonging for all. 

At whole school level, senior leaders have a crucial role to play in creating inclusive cultures within their settings.

Our Markets and Performance works with our providers and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to oversee and support the raising of quality and service delivery standards

We are required to complete a Fair Cost of Care exercise to arrive at a shared understanding with providers of the local cost of providing care.

Changing the location of your Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office, restructuring your organisation, or changing the provider responsible for your registered location, can all result in a new CQC location being created.

If you have a commissioning enquiry, are a provider and need support, or are interested in working with us to develop our adult social care services across Solihull we want to hear from you.
