All schools in Kent have a link Educational Psychologist who offers a series of School Based Reviews to the school across the year. The School Based Review(SBR)is a series of multi-professional meetings to discuss challenging educational issues, seeking solutions that will build capacity and enhance inclusion. It aims to support school staff to provide an educational environment that is ambitious and designed to give all learners, particularly the most disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND),what they need to succeed in life.
An SBR is a consultation meeting held at your school, attended by your Educational Psychologist(EP), in which members of staff can bring issues of concern they would like to discuss. The meeting lasts up to three hours. The focus of the meeting can be individual children, groups of children, or whole school issues. The aim of the SBR is to facilitate discussions around topics or issues to build inclusive practice. Other professionals can be invited to the meeting if it is appropriate.
