Request for Involvement

Schools and settings can now make a request for support or training from EA’s SEND Local IMPACT Teams or Educational Psychology using the Request for Involvement (RFI) portal. 

The Request for Involvement (RFI) portal is only accessible to schools and settings.  

Users who have already registered can access the Portal below. 

Any SENCo or principal who requires access can request this via the SEND Online Contact Form.  

It is important that schools keep us up to date on any changes, such as a new SENCo, Principal or other RFI portal user who may have recently come into post or have moved school. You can keep us updated on any changes via the SEND Online Contact Form below.  

In order to submit a Request for Involvement the school should continue to obtain consent from the parent(s)/person exercising parental responsibility and hold this on the pupil’s file.  

A copy of the consent form and EA privacy notices can be found below.
