My Support Plan is a strategy used nationally when a young person has complex needs
•It provides a more coordinated, family centred and personalised planning approach
•It demonstrates a graduated response to SEN
•It demonstrates accountability for notional SEN funding;
So why do an MSP
•It is part of the ‘graduated response’ outlined in the COP and required by Ofsted;
•It provides a joined up way of meeting complex SEND needs;
•It helps you gather the evidence you need should you need to request an EHCA at a later date;
•It demonstrates accountability for Element 1 and 2 funding - EHCPs will only be issued if you can demonstrate this;
Who should have a MSP?
Children at School Support who :
•Have complex needs
•Are making poor progress based on the School Progress grid
•Have external agencies involved
•Require significant individual input to meet their needs
•Are very vulnerable on transition
