Referral & intake handover

What you submitted · what NEO returned

Theo R. — full referral, Section F co-produced

Referral submitted 26 August 2026 · acknowledged within 1 working day · placement confirmed 8 September 2026 · placement type: short-term / transitional.

  • Section F outcomes mirrored on Theo's NEO record. (See EHCP cycle bridge, below.)
  • Pen-portrait ingested from your handover; visible to NEO mentor, subject teachers (need-to-know), and Acting SENCo.
  • Risk assessment (RA005) standing layer activated; reviewed daily by NEO mentor; pen-portrait amendments flow back to your SENCo dashboard within 24 hours.
  • Data-sharing agreement on file — co-signed by referring LA, parent / carer, and NEO. Aligned to ICO Children's Code.
  • Information rights — you are entitled to read-only visibility on attendance, engagement, mentor notes (summary), and APDR cycles. You do not see lesson recordings, individual safeguarding records, or third-party multi-agency content.
Why this is here

Maps to NEO SENCo R&R §5 (Multi-agency working · Transitions) and to the NEO Learner Intake Field Schema v05.26. The sending-school SENCo is treated as an operational partner, not just a referrer — they are present in the APDR cycle and contribute to the EHCP review.

Present Partial Absent Future

Wk1 Thu partial — anxiety on first live group session; mentor logged · normalised in next session. No DSL action.

Why this is here

Mirrors the Commissioner Door's data shape so a sending SENCo and the commissioning LA see consistent figures. Maps to R&R §9 (Information rights) — the sending-school SENCo's read-only view is defined by their data-sharing agreement, not by ad-hoc requests.

Why this is here

The sending-school SENCo retains co-production responsibility for the EHCP. NEO's role is to contribute to the cycle, not to take it over. This block makes the boundary visible and the contribution channels clickable. Maps to R&R §5 (EHC plans).
