Primary R2i Resources

• If a child/ young person continues to require more targeted support, despite a strong universal provision offer, the R2i resources can be used to start unpicking their needs.
• R2i is an early identification and intervention tool and should be used at the earliest opportunity e.g. when a change in behaviour is noticed.
• The R2i resources must be completed in sequence (please see flow chart).
• Resources should not all be completed at once, they should form part of the assess, plan, do, review process.
• Working hypotheses should be developed based on the information gathered and strategies of intervention should be linked to identified needs.
• The Summary Action Plan is a working document which can be used to record, analyse and review the information you have gathered at each stage.
• You do not need to complete all resources and the process can be paused if needs are being met.
• Strategies should be implemented consistently for at least half a term (around 6 weeks), before evaluating the impact. Strategies can then be adapted or tweaked, before moving on to the next stage if required.

The Initial Concerns Assessment can be completed by the class teacher to begin identifying the child/ young person’s areas of strength and difficulties.

Any identified quick wins, strategies or interventions should form part of the assess, plan, do, review process.

If concerns persist, further exploration is required into the young person’s Learning Environment and Developmental Environment.

These should be completed in collaboration with the class teacher and SENCo to identify what is helping and hindering the young person within the school and home environment.

It is important to gain the young person’s views and the views of their parents/ carers to develop a holistic overview of the young person’s strengths and needs.

My Views About School can be used to explore the young person’s views on the school’s physical, social and learning environment. Please read the guidance for using this resource.

The Family Views Questionnaire can be used to support a shared understanding between home and school. Guidance for using this resource can be found here.

If concerns continue to persist, further exploration may be required. These two assessments are optional.

If the young person appears to be experiencing difficulties with their working memory, flexible thinking, maintaining their attention and impulse control, the Executive Functions Assessment can be used to further explore these areas.

The Behaviour Frequency Count can be used to record and identify patterns of behaviour.
