Multi-Agency Collaboration in Education
8 weeks · 0 milestones
Document real participation in a multi-agency case involving education, health, and/or social care coordination for a student with complex needs. Proof requires: (a) an anonymised case summary describing the agencies involved and the nature of the student's needs — no student name, date of birth, address, school, or any identifying details; (b) documentation of your professional contribution to the multi-agency discussion, planning, or review process, and (c) a SENCO's or case coordinator's written confirmation of your participation and professional conduct. This is a highly sensitive proof requiring rigorous anonymisation — a case record containing identifying information is a serious data protection breach. This proof documents the STUDENT PRACTITIONER'S multi-agency collaboration skills. Requires current DBS/background check clearance.

With supervisor approval and as part of your placement, attend one multi-agency meeting concerning a student's educational needs — for example, a Team Around the Child (TAC) meeting, an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan review, or a multi-agency safeguarding hub (MASH) discussion in an education context. Take structured notes on the roles represented, the information shared by each agency, decisions made, and your own role in the meeting. All notes must be fully anonymised from the outset.
Proof required
Submit your structured meeting notes (minimum 600 words) using the following headings: agencies and roles represented; key information each agency contributed; decisions and actions agreed; your own contribution or observations; and a 150-word reflection on what you observed about professional boundaries and information-sharing constraints in the meeting.
What gets checked
- All agencies present are identified by type and professional role (e.g., 'Educational Psychologist,' 'Family Support Worker') — not by name or identifying employer details
- Notes distinguish what each agency contributed as distinct from the others — not a merged narrative that loses the multi-agency dimension
- Reflection specifically addresses information-sharing boundaries — what could and could not be shared, and why
