Support for SEN

Broadband Sandwell provides the following support

• We carry out assessments at the request of SEN Service Unit to identify a student's needs in terms of appropriate hardware and software.
• We provide reports of assessments to SEN Service Unit.

• We supply equipment as requested by SEN Service Unit.

• We commission and deliver the equipment to the student.

• We provide initial and ongoing training to students and schools in receipt of specialist ICT equipment to maximise impact.

• We deal with technical issues, including maintenance, that may arise in connection with supplied equipment.

• We provide loan equipment, from time to time, in order that fuller assessments of need can be identified, where the student's needs require this.

• We produce individual access materials if necessary.

• We maintain a list of pupils who have had equipment supplied by the LEA.

• We liaise and work with other agencies e.g. Inclusion Support, Speech and   Language Therapy as required to support students.

• We maintain a School Training Log, which identifies training and support provided to schools in connection with high cost ICT, over an academic year.
