The Staffordshire Enhanced District Inclusion Support Model (SEDIS) is designed to empower mainstream schools to address the needs of children and young people facing learning barriers and to support inclusion. SEDIS teams will work to enhance the capacity and confidence of district schools, while also promoting the sharing of best evidence- based practices. As part of Staffordshire's pre-statutory graduated approach to supporting special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and inclusion in mainstream settings, SEDIS will be available as an option during the 'Do' phase of the Enhanced Assess, Plan, Do, Review (EAPDR) Pathway. This support can be considered and agreed upon if the child or young person is on the EAPDR Pathway.

The primary goal of all SEDIS activities is to enhance the learning environment around the child, thereby improving their learning and inclusion experience. Importantly, a child or young person does not need a diagnosis or label for their school to access SEDIS support. It is important to note that this is pre EHCP support and any child in receipt of an EHCP would not be suitable for SEDIS support.  

Please note, SEDIS support is commissioned through the Newcastle SEND Hub and by contacting the SEDIS team directly for support, you will be signposted to the Hub.
