SEND Support in the early years 

Early Years SEND best practice guide

The Early Years SEND Best Practice Guide outlines the essential provisions and support that all Early Years settings in Haringey should have for children with SEND.

My Early Years support plan

The Haringey, 'My Early Years Support Plan', is a standardised template for documenting how settings implement the graduated response for children. While adaptable, it must retain key elements. The Early Years Best Practice Guide should inform the plan to ensure evidence-based support for children with SEND.

Bandings and top-ups

Banding Descriptors 

A new bandings and top-up system was put in place for children with SEND from September 2024.

Early Years 

Band C

Children who fall within the Band C range have needs beyond the ordinary offer but for whom an EHCP is not necessary.

Haringey schools can apply for additional funding for these children. To learn more about the offer and how to apply download the Band C document below.

A panel of SENDCO's agrees upon Band C allocations. Panels take place on a Wednesday morning at 48 Station Rd, N22 7TY.  

Schools have been allocated to a group based on their mainstream cluster and are expected to sit on the decision-making panel three times a year. You will also need to attend if you are requesting Band C funding.

Individual health care plans

The NHS Whittington Health team developed a summary to provide additional guidance on advice and support for individual health care plans for children and young people.

Occupational Therapy

The Children’s Occupational Therapy Service in Haringey helps children to be independent and to participate as much as possible in daily activities, such as going to school and playing with other children and self-care such as getting dressed, using the toilet or eating a meal.
