Description

Leicester City Council is considering options for a digital referral system for Children's Assistive Technology which requires a single platform through which all referrals for assistive technology filter and in which a central database can be housed and managed.

The Quality Inclusion Team (QIT) sits within the SEND Early help and education service of Leicester City Council. The QIT supports children and young people to reach their potential in education by providing a point of referral to assess additional needs in meeting their educational aspirations. On a successful referral the QIT will make provisions for specialist and non-specialist equipment and monitor their usage and suitability throughout the child and young person's educational journey.

The main purpose of introducing a digital referral system for assistive technology is to underpin the departments' strategic goals to digitalise the process to refine and maximise both the experience of the users (speech and Language Therapists, Special Educational Needs and Disability Coordinators and teachers) but to also streamline the process for the service.
