Development & Inclusion Centre for Excellence
What is DICE?
The Development and Inclusion Centre for Excellence, known as DICE, streamlines our approach to the Behavioural, Wellbeing and Learning needs of students at Carrington School. Identification, Intervention and Impact are the core components. It is a model based on a tiered approach, and has been developed by adapting the Graduated Response model from the SEN Code of Practice (2015) and utilising the Surrey Profiles of Needs (2019).
Aims
- To establish Carrington School’s Early Help offer and manage this in-house where possible
- To clearly signpost to students, families and staff what interventions are in place to support students
- To respond to the needs of our students, particularly the most vulnerable
- To streamline previous processes and ensure Identification, Intervention and Impact are appropriate to each student’s needs
- To improve communication between staff who are all working with all young people at Carrington School
