The West Sussex Graduated Approach

Children and young people may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties. These may include becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as displaying challenging, disruptive or disturbing behaviour. These behaviours may reflect underlying mental health difficulties such as anxiety or depression, self-harming, substance misuse, eating disorders or physical symptoms that are medically unexplained.

The SEND Code of Practice (2014) is clear that special educational provision is underpinned by high quality teaching. Differentiated and personalised teaching approaches, often referred to as Quality First Teaching (QFT) or universal approaches, benefit all children / young people as well as those also with special educational needs.
