Some questions we have answered
School Service Documentation
"Is our provision for educational audiology clearly described and developed?"
Ewing staff help schools and services ensure that provision, use and
evaluation is available and there is a planned programme for improvement.
Support for Early Years Provision
"How do I review our Early Years provision in the light of recent DfES recommendation?"
The Ewing Foundation was a lead partner in developing the Early Years Support Service
Audit Tool. Ewing staff mentor managers in their use of ESSAT for improving service.
Best Value Review
"How do we know if we're value for money?"
Ewing staff can advise on the development of pupil outcomes including value-added
indices and target-setting. Ewing staff have also contributed to the work of SEN
RPs on bench-marking.
Access Issues
"What are the new requirements for deaf pupils under SENDA?"
The Ewing Foundation supported the revision of the DfES Buildings bulletin 93 improving
acoustic conditions for deaf pupils.
