The new way versus the old way

Belong starts from your own words

We build the directory from your graduated approach or OAP of what every school should provide, with your teams as the Experts at Hand.

It can change the week the evidence does

A document printed last year cannot take the Fonagy review from October. With Belong you can update the same day.

The review and the directory are one thing

A SENCO rating an expectation is looking at the guidance for it. As one SENCO put it, "Provision grids are good, but then they're static, aren't they?"

It comes from the work that shaped the reforms

We built Belong on the DfE Change Programme with Leeds and Calderdale. That programme's findings fed the 2026 reforms. So Belong speaks their language. Its Universal is the Universal offer, and Targeted support, Experts at Hand and Individual Support Plans all have a home in it.

We build it the way it asks schools to work

Co-production. Try it. Listen. Rebuild. That cycle made Belong. It remade the review when people struggled with the first, over-complicated version. It is how every change still goes in.
