An information booklet for schools and families on hypermobility has been produced by community health professional and teachers within the SISS Physical Disability Team (see link below). This is part of a graduated response to ensure that appropriate interventions have been put into effect before a referral is made to occupational therapists or physiotherapists. It identifies areas of difficulty and provides practical ideas to help children and young people manage their condition. The matrix is used to record interventions and responses as supporting evidence for health professionals.
The Department for Education (DfE) is planning to make changes to the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) / Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP), and is piloting the reforms in 25 schools, selected to be a representative mix of all schools, prior to a full national public consultation. The autumn term Leaders and Managers Early Years Network meetings on Friday 9th November am/pm will give EY leads the opportunity to discuss the draft changes. The draft Early Learning Goals should not limit the wide variety of rich experiences that are crucial to child development. They are for end of year summative best–fit assessment judgements. The revised ELGs will come into effect in 2020 - 2021.
