SEND Provision.

At Bridge Training Ltd. we are committed to providing an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming learning environment where all learners can achieve to their full potential.

Our commitment:

• Treat every learner as an individual
• Promote equality, respect, and inclusion.
• Encourage learners to reach their goals with confidence.
• Work closely with parents, carers, and employers where appropriate.
• We strongly believe that with the right learner centred support in place, every learner can succeed.

How we do this.

The graduated approach:

At bridge training we follow the core principles of the graduated approach. This is a cyclical process that is reviewed regularly and repeated as often as necessary to ensure the needs of the student are effectively met.

Steps of the graduated approach:

• Assess – Identify and understand learner’s needs through observation and the gathering of relevant information.
• Plan – Develop a clear plan outlining agreed outcomes and the support or strategies to be put in place.
• Do – Implement the plan strategies and support.
• Review – Conduct regular and consistent reviews to evaluate what is working, what is not, and whether support should be continued, adapted, or changed.

This cycle is repeated as required to ensure the right support is provided at the right time.

Identify – Information gathering.

During applications we seek additional information regarding prior learning, documentation of send or support needs.

• During visits, initial meetings with parents/carers.
• Send transition dependent on the learner.
• Previous support plans, my plans, my plan plus or an educational and healthcare plan (EHCP).
• Meetings with previous placements.

We encourage learners and parents / carers to share information as early as possible to support can be arranged in good time.
