How does provision mapping/management replace IEPs?
A1. Schools that have developed provision management have found that they can use individual provision maps as an alternative to writing large numbers of traditional IEPs for pupils with relatively common, low-level needs which are routinely met through group provision. There are some examples of individual provision maps in the Surrey Provision Mapping/Management for inclusion Guidance Materials, which were distributed to all schools who attended the introductory conferences. In addition, the Surrey SEN Provision Management ICT Tool has the facility to print an individual pupil record of current provision. When individual provision maps are used it is essential that individual pupil progress continues to be regularly reviewed. The SEN Code of Practice states that reviews should take place at least twice per year and ideally termly, or more frequently for some pupils. There should be regular pupil progress reviews which link to the individual pupil provision map and summarises progress
