What inclusion surgeries are, when we hold them, who can attend and how to make a referral.
We run inclusion surgeries supported by professionals representing services that work with children and families.
These professionals have a range of knowledge and expertise, with a view to providing further advice and guidance for schools.
There may be times where a full-time alterative provision is sought by the team around the family represented by the school. It's only at this multidisciplinary panel that this resource is considered if it is in the best interest of the child or young person.
Professionals will acknowledge a child's right to full time education.
When
These are held every week on Wednesday, during term time.
Who they're for
Any child or young person who is ordinarily a resident in Bristol.
How to make a referral
In most cases, the education professionals working with the child can make referral.
You will need:
- the parent or carer's consent to bring a child to the surgery
- to hold an Inclusion Support Meeting with a member of the IncludED service
- to book a slot for the inclusion surgery
Once confirmed, you will need to complete this referral form. Do not complete this form until your slot has been confirmed.
In the referral form you will need to:
- detail what you're concerned about
- detail the impact of the support which has been put in place
- try give a rounded picture of what's happening for the child
