Inclusion Forums - sometimes known as Surgeries or Multi Agency Panels

Do you have a student with low attendance and engagement where your school's efforts don't seem to be solving the problem

There is one standard Referral Form for all Partnership referrals, including for Inclusion Forum discussions

Children with medical needs, children missing education, issues around elective home education can be referred to the LA Inclusion Team. A check list of actions prior to referral is here

To refer to the Local Authority Inclusion Team use their Referral Form here.

We recommend that schools access the brilliant resource prepared by Sheffield EP service. This contains a wealth of advice about meeting the needs of those students who are reluctant engagers.
