EY Cluster Meetings
Cluster meetings for DSPL3, 4 & 5 are arranged termly by the EY team to:
- Provide updates
- Share information
- Upskill your knowledge on what Ordinarily Available Provision should look like
- Provide time to ask questions and network with other PVI SENCO’s
All EY settings/providers are welcome to attend. Due to ratio’s, we know it is often difficult to be available, so a selection of different times are scheduled to allow as many providers as possible to attend.
