Graduated approach briefings


The graduated approach briefings are aimed at SENDCos and other staff members of educational settings, who support the needs of children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Lincolnshire. The briefings focus on removing barriers to learning and implementing effective special educational provision by embedding a robust graduated approach across educational settings.

Future meetings

Graduated approach briefings occur regularly throughout the year, starting in November this year and taking place approximately each half term.
