Meet with parents and carers at least 3 times a year
As a minimum, you must provide parents and carers with an annual review of their child's progress and the current level of support.
However, where a pupil is receiving SEN support, the DfE recommends you meet parents and carers at least termly and that you provide them with regular reports on their child’s progress.
You should work with parents and carers to:
- Set clear outcomes
- Review the pupil's progress towards the outcomes
- Discuss activities and support that will help the pupil to achieve the outcomes
- Identify the responsibilities of the school, the parents/carers and the pupil
The discussion should be led by a teacher with good knowledge and understanding of the pupil, supported by the SENCO.
This is set out on page 104 of the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice.
