The Intensive Wraparound Service (IWS) is to meet the needs of students who have significant complex social, behavioural learning needs or complex needs linked to intellectual impairment. This service sits under the umbrella of the Positive Behaviour for Learning Action Plan.
The IWS supports children and young people to:
An assessment report is completed by the lead worker, which is then referred to the Regional Prioritisation Panel.
An analysis report is completed by IWS psychologist together with the lead worker, which is used to develop the student’s plan.
IWS will enable this group of students to have their needs met through the development and implementation of a comprehensive individualised plan. Funding will support an individual student’s plan for up to three years, in their home, school, and local community, and may include a period of support from a residential special school where that is seen as needed.
The service:
IWS provides an opportunity to improve the skills, knowledge, and expertise of schools and communities who help and support students with complex behaviour, social, and education needs.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PB4L) provides programmes and initiatives for parents, teachers, and schools across the country to support children and young people and help develop safe and caring environments where positive behaviour and learning thrive.
Students' positive engagement with school and community.
IWS psychologist works with the student, their school, their families/whānau, and others involved with the child to develop a comprehensive individualised plan.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring that the student receives the services required by the plan.
MoE manage the funding and are responsible for implementation, monitoring, and review of the plan while the student continues to need support.
