SEND and inclusion news
The Children, Young People and Learning (CYPL) SEND & Inclusion newsletter is a publication for professionals and parent carers who champion SEND in West Sussex.
See highlights below, or read the whole SEND and inclusion newsletter.
New Ordinarily Available Inclusive Practice (OAIP) guide
This month we publish the third edition of our co-produced West Sussex OAIP Guide 2025. We send copies to all settings responsible for the education and inclusion of our West Sussex children and young people.
We produced the guide in partnership with education settings, parents and carers, professionals, and services. It highlights the range of support and expectations that settings can ordinarily provide for children, without the need for additional support from an Education Health and Care Plan, that is, children at ‘SEND support’ or with no identified SEND.
Neurodevelopmental Pathway (NDP) navigation service
Reaching Families have received funding from NHS Sussex to continue providing this much-needed service.
The service gives support to parent carers of children and young people who are waiting for, undergoing or have completed an assessment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism and other neurodevelopmental conditions on the West Sussex Neurodevelopmental Pathway.
You can find out about the NDP navigation service from Reaching Families.
You can also see our information page about support while you wait for an assessment.
