Writing Outcomes 

Course summary:  

The SEND code of Practice (2014) refers to an outcome as follows; 

“An outcome can be defined as the benefit or difference made to an individual as a result of an intervention.”  (Section 9.66) 

Outcomes are the opportunity for everyone involved in the child’s support to plan realistic steps that are needed to enable the child or young person to achieve longer term goals and aspirations.  

The session will focus on what makes a good outcome, we will look at how to write a person centred outcome which is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time bound (SMART) that is designed around the young persons needs as opposed to linked to the provision available.  

The session will be suitable for young people at SEND support stage as well as EHC, as it will support writing outcomes that can be used within a SEND support plan and also at point of review of the plan.
