Together, today and tomorrow

Belong Universal SEND support, created from your own existing documents

Every council has an Ordinarily Available provision / Graduated Approach that says what every school should do before it asks for more help. Belong turns yours into a website. Your special educational needs coordinators (SENCOs) and teachers can use it day to day. Your own specialist teams, the Experts at Hand, keep it up to date. Every school can run a whole-school SEND review on it and get an action plan out the other side.

One shared language for schools, specialist teams and the council.

We developed it with Leeds and Calderdale through the Department for Education (DfE) Change Programme. It is live in Leeds as Inclusive Mainstream Practice (opens in a new tab) and in Calderdale as Mainstream Inclusion Calderdale (opens in a new tab).
