Description

Multilingualism and SEND: who leads and who decides?

A multilingual learner who joined last term isn’t making the progress you’d expect, and a colleague suggests talking to the SENCO. Where do you start?

In this panel discussion, panellists share what they look at first, which questions they ask families, and how their EAL and SEND leads work together on a case from the first concern right through to review. They also talk honestly about when it’s time to make a formal referral, who makes that call, and what leaders can do to keep things consistent across a school or trust.

You will leave with:

  • Clarity on which roles should be involved at each stage, from initial concern through to a formal decision

  • Practical approaches for sharing information between multilingualism and SEND leads

  • Greater confidence in building a whole-school process that supports earlier and more accurate identification

Panellists include:

  • Sharmilla A Narkiran, Head of EAL, HELP International School, Malaysia

  • Helen Williams, Trust Lead for Inclusion, Fairfax Multi-Academy Trust

  • Stavroula Petropoulou, Regional Head of Multilingualism, ISP
