Management Information Sheet
Identification of Needs Descriptors in Educational Settings (INDES) and Inclusion and Provision SEF (IPSEF)
Communications events/surgeries
Thank you to all colleagues who have engaged with us so far during communication events and INDES surgery sessions over the past weeks.
We have added a data collation tool to the INDES webpage for colleagues who have requested this to help with the internal organisation of information required, particularly when that information comes from multiple sources. The tool can be found here:
Identification of needs descriptors in educational settings (INDES) - Schools (norfolk.gov.uk).
We have also created a similar tool for the IPSEF which will be available on the webpage before the end of term here:
Inclusion and provision self-evaluation framework (IPSEF) - Schools (norfolk.gov.uk)
INDES
We are receiving INDES webform submissions from settings. Some colleagues are using a 'test pupil' so they can experience using the form - please ensure the child's name is shown as 'test' if you choose to do this so we do not include this in your setting's final data set.
