At SESLIP we are always on the look-out for good ideas that might be better implemented regionally rather than locally. If you have any suggestions, please contact Richard Tyndall, SESLI Programme Manager (details below). 

Our Regional Improvement Plan for 2020-2021 can be found here.

UPDATE NO 403 15 May 2020

Programme:

Coronavirus and Covid-19 Response

Update:

We have created a C-19 page which has unrestricted access and another which is password-protected.

Access to both pages is in the drop-down menu from “Latest News” on the home page.

We have provided links to DfE publications, and on the restricted page, to shared information from colleagues in the South East and from other regional SLI teams. The material from the West Midlands is particularly detailed. SEND specific information is here.

Action Required:

Please can you help us populate the C-19 pages by

1. Sharing any unrestricted guidance, advice or publicity via Isabelle Gregory (contact details below)

2. Sharing any more sensitive material that should be accessible only with a password via Isabelle Gregory (contact details below)

3. Letting us know the name and details your lead contact(s) for coronavirus and covid-19 responses to whom (along with all DCSs) we will give access to the restricted page. Please pass details to Isabelle Gregory (contact details below).

Reminders from previous weeks

Programme:

SESLIP Website – Restricted area access arrangements

Update:

The library of useful documents accessible in the SESLIP-website password-protected areas is developing apace, thanks to colleagues. We now have useful directories listing all documents available on the COVID-19, the DCS, the Quality Assurance and the CME Restricted Areas, accessible via the relevant password-protected pages.

Action Required:

Please email Isabelle Gregory (contact details below) if you would like a list of those in your authority who already have access to each SESLIP website restricted area. This request will need to come from a DCS or DCS PA.

Please note that from mid-May we will be asking all restricted users to re-validate their access permissions. Please contact Isabelle Gregory (details below) if this causes any problems.
