Look inside Belong: SEND action plans
Although Belong is built on a common architecture, it can be adapted to the specific needs of each local authority.
In our research, SENCOs told us they wanted to be able to add their unfiltered thoughts to the audit, so we created the action plan as a way of feeding into the larger ecosystem of SEND through the local authority.
Action plans: focus areas
Action plans are designed to
- Summarise each focus area of the audit
- Spotlight what we do next
- Share with peers in SEND clusters
- Share school specific areas needing support from specialist SEND teams
- Allow SEND teams to plan their support, training, and resource creation
- Allow local authorities to spot trends and needs
- Allow local authorities to plan strategically
Writing the action plan
SENCOs answer 3 questions, adaptable to each local authority
- A summary of what we do well
- A summary of questions to consider
- Next steps
To support writing the action plan, SENCOs can see everything they wrote in the audit for the specific focus area.
Reading and sharing the action plan
The action plan can be shared with SLT, governors, and others.

- Printed document
Comments on the action plan
Local authority specialist SEND teams can access action plans directly from their account, and create a dialogue with the SENCO.
Some schools will want to draw on the support of the local authority to write their audits, and can invite a specific SEND specialist to support them.
