NtSIP s 01 revised versio updtes d supersedes the 009 (Revised) editio d emres hgig legisltio with reogitio of the eed for overge of the 0-5 yers ge rge i multi-gey otext d i vriety of edutiol settigs. These rge from home d Erly Yers settigs t the pre-shool stge, where erly itervetio is of suh importe, to shools, iludig demies d Free Shools, through to post-1 further edutiol plemets. 1. Purpose The NtSiP Eligiility Criteri re iteded to fulfil severl purposes i reltio to servie support for hildre d youg people () d their fmilies: to filitte ehmrkig ross LA Sesory Support Servies; to ele servies to provide equitle llotio of their resoures; to provide servies with etry d exit riteri for support; to provide mes of idetifyig the levels of support required; to provide mes of justifyig the support provided; to iform the lol offer the LA s iformtio o the servies it expets to e ville lolly; to iform edutio, helth d re pls (EHC Pls) the multi-gey eed ssessmets d pls for ; to iform stffig level osidertios, the ture of support d llotio of selods; to support the developmet of Servie Level Agreemets; to support servie qulity ssure d self-evlutio 1 ; to reflet omplie with The Equlity At (010). With respet to ehmrkig, it is rgued tht meigful omprisos of Sesory Support Servies ross differet LAs will oly e fesile oe ommo set of eligiility riteri is i use, oupled with trsprey over the ssoited support llotio mtries operted y idividul servies. Whilst the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri re omprehesive d re desiged to provide the sis for fir llotio of ville resoures, they re ot iteded to exlude professiol judgemet d do ot ttempt to reple full ssessmet y qulified speilist SI teher. For exmple, detiled lguge profile my e used logside these riteri to support djustmet i levels of provisio. Professiols will kow tht use of the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri is ledig to effetive idetifitio of support whe hildre re mkig good progress d hievig good outomes. 1 For exmple, the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri ould e used i evidee for the DCSF Qulity Stdrds for SEN d Outreh Servies (00), e.g. Stdrd 1 - Fie d resoures re mged effetively to support the performe d opertiol requiremets of the servie.

1.3 Opertio There re three sets of eligiility riteri withi the doumet: Herig Impirmet (pp 1-17) Visio Impirmet (pp 1-) Multi-Sesory Impirmet (pp 3-9) Arevitios, defiitios of terms d the lssifitio of sesory loss used withi the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri re provided i the Glossry (see 1.). Applyig the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri To pply the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri, SI speilist tehers should follow the steps elow: Step 1: Selet the pproprite set of eligiility riteri (i.e. HI, VI or MSI) ordig to the s type of sesory impirmet. For ese of use, eh set of eligiility riteri hs ee opied oto seprte form whih e dowloded from the elosed CD (or the NtSIP wesite: www.tsip.org.uk). Step : Eter the s detils o the pproprite dowloded NtSIP Eligiility Criteri form. Step 3: Work through the eligiility riteri, seletig oly oe of the optios withi eh riterio tle d eter the s sore ito the pproprite ox t the se of the tle. If oe of the optios pplies withi riterio tle, eter sore of 0 i the ox. (NB The ox llows the SI speilist teher to eter y iformtio or professiol judgemet tht ws tke ito out whe mkig the optio seletio withi the riterio tle). Exmple - Herig Impirmet Criterio 3: Criterio 3: Impt of HI o lguge d ommuitio developmet d o ess to lerig d the urriulum Lguge d ommuitio mth potetil give pproprite mgemet strtegies d servie moitorig d dvie Lguge d ommuitio require trgeted support from the servie i order for the lerer to ess the urriulum Lguge d ommuitio require high level of trgeted support from the servie t idividul lerer level to estlish d develop skills for lerig 1 : Optio () seleted give the mjor impt of EAL t this stge o the pupil s futiol lguge d ommuitio d ess to the urriulum. 1 5

1.3 Opertio otiued Step : Eter the s sores for eh of the riterio tles i the Tle o the Sorig Summry Sheet t the ed of the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri form d dd to lulte the s Totl. (NB The mximum sore for eh of the three sets of eligiility riteri is 100. A idividul s Totl therefore e expressed s peretge without dditiol lultio). Step 5: Use the Totl s sis for support llotio deisios ordig to servie poliy. I determiig the support llotio, eh servie will eed to gree its support llotio mtrix ordig to wht it osiders to e the support levels required to meet eeds. Impliit withi the support llotio will e the s ility to ess the urriulum, to mke good progress d to hieve good outomes. O the dowlodle NtSIP Eligiility Criteri forms o the CD, servies hve the optio of eterig support llotio mtrix tht they hve devised oto the Sorig Summry Sheet or usig oe of the two versios with preprepred mtrix lredy iserted i.e. Exmple 1 or Exmple (see p.). (NB It is tiipted tht i the se of the MSI support llotio mtrix pproprite omitio of speilist sesory professiols would e iluded. It is evisged tht the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri form would e ompleted together y the speilist tehers for HI/VI d where ville MSI. Followig this professiol deisio ould the e mde regrdig whih teher should deliver speified elemets of the lloted support). Oe servie hs deided upo its support llotio mtrix, the s Totl e trslted ito the ssoited level/tegory of support o the mtrix. It is suggested tht fil deisio upo the tul support llotio should the e mde through whtever modertio proesses re estlished withi the servie. Aprt from professiol judgemet osidertios, temporry issues suh s stffig vies d log term illess over my lso eed to e tke ito out. I the 009 versio of Eligiility Criteri for Sorig Support Levels it ws idited tht iformtio would e gthered o the support llotio mtries employed y servies. The fidigs of survey rried out s prt of the 01 revisio re reported t the ed of setio 1.3. Step : Review - the itetio is tht the ompletio of the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri exerise should iform ogoig review roud the support for s eeds.

To provide omprtive reord over time, the Reord Sheets i Setio 3 llow s sores from three pplitios of the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri to e etered o sigle form. The Reord Sheets e dowloded from the CD (or the NtSIP wesite: www.tsip.org.uk). NB For user-friedliess, three versios of eh of the Reord Sheets hve ee prepred o the CD: oe iludes the lk support llotio mtrix for ompletio y the servie s pproprite, other iludes the support llotio mtrix Exmple 1 (see p.) d the third iludes the support llotio mtrix Exmple (see p.).

The itertive forms pper o the CD d they hve lso ee posted o the NtSIP wesite (www.tsip.org.uk).

1.3 Opertio otiued Additiol Cosidertios Erly Yers I osiderig the pplitio of the NtSIP Eligiility Criteri withi the Erly Yers otext, servies re expeted to pursue the Erly Support ethos of keepig fmilies t the hert of disussio d deisio mkig out their hildre.

Post-1 The ture of the differet settigs the youg people withi the 1 5 ge group my tted is of redth tht my hve greter ifluee o the llotio of support eeded th is the se for Erly Yers settigs d shools. Speilist provisio The NtSIP Eligiility Criteri hve ee developed for LA Sesory Support Servies offerig outreh support to o-si speilist edutiol settigs. These settigs my ilude Speil Shools, Uits d Resoure Bses whih re ot SI speilist provisios ut whih hve with SI o roll. The NtSIP Eligiility Criteri were ot developed for SI speilist provisios suh s Speil Shools, Uits d Resoure Bses for with HI, VI or MSI whih, it is ssumed, offer the stffig expertise d resoures to meet the eeds of lerers with SI. 7

1.3 Opertio otiued Survey of Support Allotio Mtries To ivestigte the rge of support llotio mtries eig used i ssoitio with the eligiility riteri, Sesory Support Servies were irulted d ivited to sumit the mtries they employed. I the 009 versio of Eligiility Criteri for Sorig Support Levels two exmples of mtrix were provided (see elow) d the mjority of the survey resposes ould e lssified i terms of these exmples or dpttios of them.

1.3 Opertio otiued Tle 1 elow provides lysis of the survey returs. Resposes were reeived from Servies overig 37 LAs (i.e. pproximtely % of ll LAs). As previously metioed i Step 5 ove, it is essetilly the deisio of eh servie to gree or devise its support llotio mtrix ordig to wht it osiders to e the support levels required to meet eeds. Whilst there is o evidee se to support the doptio of prtiulr mtrix s eig oe whih will e the more effetive i promotig good pupil progress d the hievemet of good outomes, it is perhps worth otig tht pproximtely 5% of the servies surveyed sed their support llotio o Exmple, though ot ll fully mthed their levels of support to those speified. From this stdpoit it might e osidered tht the mtrix i Exmple is oe whih reflets the spirtios of my servies.
