Support Pathway Types available to you

• General support requests encompass all queries not specific to an individual pupil's progress. 
• Targeted support is a bespoke package for an individual pupil. 
• You identify which of these you wish to pursue 

• However, should on review it be deemed necessary to revert to an alternative support pathway with AOIS or elsewhere we will discuss the reasons for this with you.
• Examples of such changes to the original submission include, General Support Requests being converted to the Targeted Support Pathway. Support may be more appropriately provided by another Provider, such as The Grove or Foundry College. these are rare exceptions but can happen. If such a circumstance arises we would discuss this with you, the reasons for this and signpost you to the most appropriate course of action.

Targeted Support

(for an individual pupil)

• Targeted support is a bespoke package for an individual pupil. 
• SENCO approval must be sought before a request is submitted.
• Offered as a referral, it requires commitments from both AOIS and the school involved in order to establish a clear path for progress and measurable outcomes, including timeframes and resource allocation. 
• Parental consent is also required. 
• Support will involve observation,  action planning with advice on strategies, techniques, resources, approaches and interventions to aid in pupil progress.  
• The AOIS Consent Form needs to be completed before any targeted support work proceeds.
• Please arrange for the Consent Form to be reviewed and signed by the Parents/Caregivers.
•  

Process and timescales

• AOIS will contact you within 5 working days of a submission**
• 3 visits will be arranged in advance, roughly 4-6 weeks apart.

**If the referral does not proceed at this point the reasons will be discussed with you and we will signpost to alternative support measures

Additional Information

• General Support & Targeted Support requests are free of charge to Wokingham Borough mainstream schools.
• On rare occasions, if additional, specialist support is required following on from the completion of these requests, the need and the subsequent provision would be discussed in depth. Costs may be incurred for this provision. This would all be explored with you and agreement put in place for this to be carried out as needed.
• AOIS provision is commissioned by Wokingham Inclusion Group for those in education in the Borough. However we may be able to offer support to schools outside the borough should the need arise and we are able to facilitate the requests. Costs may be incurred for this. This would all be discussed and agreed with you upon submission of any request.
