What happens during a risk of exclusion intervention?

In order to meet the child or young person’s needs, one of our highly trained professionals will often work with the young person, their parents/carers and education setting to create a bespoke intervention. We work with both home and school to create a well-rounded view of the young person’s needs and an effective way of supporting these needs. A risk of exclusion intervention can include a range of possibilities, for example the implementation and regular reviews of a management plan. During a risk of exclusion intervention, the child or young person may be taught effective techniques for self-motivation, relaxation and concentration.

What happens after a risk of exclusion intervention?

After a risk of exclusion intervention, the individual should have learned to use techniques to remain engaged in class. Following a risk of exclusion intervention we can carry out follow up sessions, to review the child or young person’s progress and the impact of the intervention. Outcomes from a risk of exclusion intervention will be given through in the way of a feedback session or, alternatively, a written report if requested. You will be given support through the whole process of a risk exclusion intervention, because of this we always offer the option of follow-up support to those we work with.

Does a report come included with a risk of exclusion intervention?

A report following any one of our interventions is something we always recommend. It contains information about what took place, the impact we had, and several recommendations for the future. This detailed report is available after a risk of exclusion intervention highlighting the individuals needs and how they can engage in education. A report from a risk of exclusion intervention has various potential uses, such as: school use, personal use, medical use, funding and support, support with an application, or other evidence. Risk of exclusion interventions can be provided for different reasons. If a report is not needed, we offer to provide feedback verbally. We can also offer a short written summary.
