Monday 2 September 2024
Following our communication in the Special Newsletter on Monday 8 July, we would like to give you further updates on the developments of the support we provide to the early years and childcare sector.
From September the Early Years and Childcare Advisor (EYCA) role will be split into two different roles, EYCAs for Quality and Sufficiency and EYCAs for SEND and Inclusion. The EYCAs for SEND and Inclusion will be supported by the new Early Years SEND and Inclusion Mentor role. This will allow us to give more specialist support alongside our current offer to all early years and childcare providers.
EYCAs for Quality and Sufficiency will continue to support you with:
- Setting Review Meetings,
- Ofsted support,
- EYFS Leader and Childminder network meetings,
- support with the early years and wraparound childcare expansion, and
- targeted setting support for businesses.
You can contact your local EYCA for Quality and Sufficiency team using the following email addresses:
EYCAs for SEND and Inclusion will continue to support you with:
- SEND under 5,
- Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment requests,
- targeted setting support for inclusion,
- Inclusion Funding,
- Setting Support phone line, and
- Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator/Inclusion Co-ordinator (SENCO/INCO) networks.
In addition our new Early Years SEND and Inclusion Mentors will be providing targeted intervention support for individual children.
You can contact the EYCAs for SEND and Inclusion team using the Setting Support phone line on 01243 777807. Please ask to be transferred to the "Setting Support Phone Line". The phone line is available every Tuesday afternoon from 1.00pm to 4.00pm. For any additional queries relating to SEND and Inclusion, please email the relevant mailbox for your area indicated in the chart below.
