The stage should reflect the level of intervention and coordination required to meet the learner’s needs. The stage should be decided by considering:
- The significance of needs
- The personnel delivering support
- The level of individualised and targeted support required to identify and meet needs (nature, intensity, frequency and duration)
- The need for a lead professional
- The frequency by which the child’s needs require review by the planning team. The needs of pupils placed at Stage 2 should be planned for and reviewed through the school’s Joint Support Team (JST): JOINT SUPPORT TEAM GUIDANCE
